Nice Deck Thrasher. From the pic, looks like you did a fine job. I don't have a pic of the one I was talking about, that was 15 years ago and I don't live there anymore. I added the deck on after I bought the house and stained it myself. Lived there 5 years and except for "traffic areas" it still looked good when I moved.

Thrash..Next task clean your gutters:)... Nice work though on the deck. I will pay you to do mine. I always put it off till next spring. Maybe this year.

The stuff you see in the photos is crap sitting on top of the gutter guards.

I built the deck a couple months after I bought the house, too, behr. I only plan to be here another year or two, so as long as it looks good then, I'll be good. I do have two very high energy mutts, though. And their path out to the yard to take a **** is through the deck. I'm worried about that.

I didn't know you had dogs! Learn something new every day.

The path from the door to the steps are gonna get "hammered" obviously, but, a couple of hours just staining the "floor" of the deck before you move will fix that. Behr is quality, so the rest of the deck should be fine. IMO. Sure you already know all of that tho.

What kind of dogs?

Oh, Thrasher, in case you don't know this......

Never use bleach to clean the deck. I learned the hard way at the restaurant. It works great for cleaning it but, the wood absorbs the bleach and the bleach absorbs water.....so every time it rains, gets humid or damp, it turns to an ice skating rink.

Noted. I'm anal about wood cleaning products. I always google.

Here is my dog Rocky:

I know, me too. Also, I got all the good qualities of the lab. He loves water, and is addicted to fetch.

He does have that Rottweiler protective temperament, though. I have to watch out for that.

I've only been around 1 Rotty for any period of time. A close friend had a female. She was sweet as she could be but very protective of his kids. Play with her like a little puppy, but stay away from the kids......and it wasn't even a question!


**The "edit" didn't make sense. :hi:

My request...good receipe for blacken' Gator and a receipe for Jambalaya made with andoullie not boudain. For some reason the cajun joints here in Hattiesburg like using boudain in their Jambalaya.

Do you kill a lot of Gator up there in the sippi? If not, why would you eat gator tail other than 1 Saturday in September? But to answer your question....

The only part of a gator that is edible is the tail. It's hard to find the "tenderloin" in a supermarket and any other part is just plain tough and......taste like tough chicken AND is more expensive than chicken.

My advice is, if you really want some decent gator tail, order it online. I've got a place booked marked somewhere if you want me to post it. When/if you get some, make Armidillo eggs with them. That's the only way I prepare it anymore and only do it in September.

As far as the Jambalaya..

shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped
chicken, diced
cayenne pepper
olive oil
chopped onion
chopped green bell pepper
chopped celery
fresh chopped garlic
chopped fresh tomatoes
bay leaves
worcestershire sauce
hot sauce (whatever brand/type you like)
rice (I use Mahatma yellow with saffron)
chicken stock
andouille sausage, sliced
sea salt and fresh cracked pepper

I havent gone gator hunting yet but made some good buddies with some cajun in Lousiana that do. Who woulda thunk hillbillies and cajuns could get along. I am not much of a cooker but wanted to learn how to cook Jambalaya. I love it everytime I eat it not matter how painful it is.

Behr, I need to invest in some cookware. I have some Inkor waterless that I like ok, but despise when the lids "lock" on. I have a couple decent Wolfgang Puck stainless saucepans/skillets, and some paula deen nonstick stuff along with some Calphalon. Do you have any preferences as far as durability or ease of cleaning, heat distribution, etc? Price point isnt too terribly important ( within reason)
