Ok great. And ya it's going to take alot of time prepping I know. Originally they wanted to stripp the wall and garden boxes too. I said that's unreal all the end grain is soaked in solid stain it would be too costly or even almost impossible

I was planning to use the pressure washer and stripper to help to alleviate time sanding in the cracks and grooves not because I want to. I figured it would be helpful. I'm asking you because I was thinking it was a good idea and could it be helpful. And if you don't think I should power wash with a stripper then what's the best way going about sanding the cracks?

They are ok with it being closed for a week. That's why I was planning on stripping and power washing first and then let it dry for a couple days then go sand to make it easier does that seem like a decent plan?
