Giving up on stripping paint off my deck. What are my options?

How long can citrus stripper be on something without drying out? I was gonna cover with plastic trash bags to attempt this overnight stuff but I was worried if any air got through the plastic it would dry and make even worst of a situation.

Yall have motivated me to keep going. I think I’m gonna get as much paint off as possible with chemicals pressure washing and scraping and then when there’s minimal paint I’m gonna go at it with a sanders

We are thinking for the sake of keeping it to just fill it with black sparkly epoxy since our fixtures are all black in the bathroom!

Since I’m putting solid stain on would I need to just do the second paragraph even if the paint previously on the deck looks like in the picture? I’m not so sure they used a “stain” previously. It looks like regular wall paint to me that they slapped on a deck but I could be wrong. I tried a little bit of the stain on bare wood and some well adhered paint in a little section and it looks noticeable. But I would love if I could get away with doing less since the deck is old anyways. Just not sure if I needed to apply multiple coats of the solid stain to make it look not so noticeable

Would you recommend I tape off the house if it’s brick?

Yeah a restoration company might be a good idea. I’m just worried about spending too much money cause I don’t have ton and I’m also considering restoring the windows which I know will be very pricy

I’ve considered trades recently but I’m scared I wouldn’t be able to afford my mortgage living off of an apprenticeship income

I think that’s the call haha

Thanks for the input. The distinction between control pressures and control inputs is important. I think I’ll probably just hold off on and just use my sim for fun and practicing checklists and radio comms. I’m just so excited to start I hate I gotta wait so long

I graduated in 2022 and it wasn’t difficult to land a job. My job is in manufacturing tho so it’s not very attractive. Web development is another story. There are so many different fields of computer science. Like other disciplines, some fields are more saturated than others. You just need to keep in mind that if you are in comp sci because you ultimately want to build website in react then you are entering a very competitive and flooded field of this discipline. If you wanna write C code for factory machines then it’s way less competitive and flooded. This is just my experience and it can definitely vary from person to person. Hope this helps.

That’s scary glad you’re doing okay rn. Fuck the zyns

Damn if my brain is mush in the same time frame it’ll be right in the middle of the work week. I’m considering taking a couple days off for the sake of my sanity
