  1. I'd have them replace all the boards. You're place is beautiful. The reason I say this is because you need a non film forming woodstain (oil). These types of stain showcase the natural beauty of wood. New boards and old boards will have different levels of checking and coloration. You are correct about letting the wood dry. I like 13% or less on my moisture meter. That takes about 6 weeks this time of year. I'd wait 8 since your in the shade. Let's setup a free estimate sometime soon. We'll schedule it up for Oct. I have tons of experience and fair pricing. It's a little more humid this morning. I'm seeing lots of dew. I wanted to start staining at 7am but it's to damp this morning. What an awesome airmass we just had.
  2. I'm going to be washing a house on Sunday at 11 right near your town. I'd love to come by and take a look. I've been restoring deck since 1997. I definitely have a few options. Send me a DM. It was super nice out today. It was a lovely day to be outside.
  3. I work outside. (I've got some great fall specials on softwashing, deck restoration, paver restoration and more. Support my winter snow chases by hiring me. You'll receive my personal chase footage during this upcoming season). This weather is awesome. It's making up for the smoky hell we had during early July.
  4. Boring. Hopefully a cat 3 comes up the bay in September bringing a tornado swarm and big river flooding to make up for this historically boring pattern we've been stuck in since sleet fest in January.
  5. Glen Burnie gets the golden thunderstorm award for the season. That area gets hit every single time there's a chance of a thunderstorm. If there's a chance for severe that's where it always happens. Frederick is in second place lol
  6. Today looks like a good day to use my bosses card and take off while everything dries out. Anyone want to join me!? I'm going to do at least 10 miles. I'll tell you about the 6 times in my life that was i was indirectly struck by lightning. Or how about a Tug Hill story where I jebwalked in 8 feet of snow that fell on me in 5 days. I even have a hurricane Gloria story from when I was a kid. LFG!
  7. I just had some big gust blowing through. I could hear trees breaking and branches falling. Not much thunder and the rain has been kinda underwhelming. Classic stormy summer evening.
  8. Best radar I've seen in a long time for my area, and most of the metro area. LFG!
  9. This is the 6th time this season I've had a severe thunderstorm watch and a flood watch combo. I had almost an inch during one of the events. No severe at all. Today is the day! Flood me! Blow a tree down on my truck! Anything lol. These clouds are starting to get a lifty look to them. I think the atmosphere is about to go off.
  10. I knew it! As soon as I walked outside I noticed it. There's even a little burnt rubber smell.
  11. It looks like our chance of storms all week evolved into a chance of a couple rounds of storms tomorrow and that's about it. Boring continues to be the rule imo. I'd like to see the tropics wake up.
  12. Hopefully Lake Ontario with be bath water when the some strong arctic airmass flows over it. A wicket LES band with insane rates along with snownados (happens) hitting the Upper Tug would make my day.
  13. I'm down here just inland from Fenwick. Light shows and clouds here this morning. Hopefully it clears up this morning.
  14. Congrats north, south, east, and west of me. .60 here while just about everyone received 3-6". Ugh the boring drought continues in my area. I'm going to have to start chasing rain events. So bored. I can't wait until LES season lol
  15. I literally came to say how Frederick still managed to flood lol. Glen Burnie will get nailed later. I just had a big ole outflow boundary blast through my yard. It was kinda fun for a minute.
  16. We're in a dead zone for sure. I've given up on severe for today. I'd be happy sitting on my porch watching a steady rain. Unfortunately that doesn't look great either. I'm so tired of boring weather. I'd be happy if my roof got ripped off by a tornado at this point.
  17. True lol. I forgot there's like 5 of us that care about severe. I just love thunderstorms. Not like I love snow. Thunderstorms are spicy. They've tried to kill me a few times lol. I like seeing those breaks to the west and sw. Let's see what today does. I'm headed down to Fort Washington this morning. On days like today I look like the guy on Good Fellas driving down the road looking at the sky watching for helicopters following him. I look the same but watching for sun lol
  18. Back to "Bad Gateway" again when logging on.
  19. Congrats fokes south and east today. Looks like 2-3" of rain and lots of storms. Models looks pretty unenthusiastic for central Maryland. Probably just the normal spots like Fredrick and Glen Burnie see action lol. Crickets in here for a severe day.
  20. We don't do widespread severe around here. In my 47 years of life in this area I've seen widespread severe once or twice. It's normally very localized like what happened in Pasadena a couple days ago. Even the day La Plata was hit with the EF 5 was pretty lame. That Southern MD super cell was the only game in town that day. I remember thinking it was a bust until I heard about the GOAT tornado. The derechio was the the most widespread severe I've seen.
  21. I just watched Jim Cantory say that it seems to be trending more towards a LA landfall. That's more in our wheelhouse for remnant moisture than Texas. That will just mean Frederick and Glen Burnie get flash flooding lol
  22. Just checking in. A month ago it looked like a possible west based Nino. Now east base? I thought 2009-10 was a east base?
  23. I got caught a little off guard on my 10 mile hike this morning. That sun came out and the heat index went nuts. It kicked my butt a little bit. Prime environment for big rainers for some.
  24. I'm literally standing somewhere exactly like the flash flood watch is describing. Bacon Ridge run (fresh waster spring 200 feet upstream) it was dry last time i was through here. It's super tropical out here. Flood me.
