Thanks guys and it is a great feeling when your hard work results in something nice. Day 1 consisted of just straight on power washing with good ole H2O, no chemicals. The mold peeled right off. Took about 8 hours with a couple of AC breaks and hydration. Day 2 was the staining process. I used Olympic Cedar Naturaltone tinted waterproofer/sealant. It didn't spray well out of the pump sprayer so I brushed it by hand. I was spent on Sunday cuz of the heat so I had to finish it last night after work. I'm pretty happy and I love spending time out there. I wasn't proud of it before and got sick of looking at the mold so I finally got off my arse and did something about it. Here's the link to the product info: Good Stuff but not cheap $30 a gallon! It took a little over 4 gallons.
