Patio furniture made of hard woods such as cherry and oak benefit from an annual sanding.You can either do this by hand or by using a palm sander. Use sandpaper with medium grit if you’re removing scratches or old finishes and use fine grit if you’re just doing a lighter routine sanding. You can also use an emery cloth or steel wool. After you sand the furniture, wipe it down with a wet cloth. Then, apply a fresh coat of protective finish, such as a polyurethane coating or an oil stain. As an alternative, you could apply a quality exterior primer and then top with an exterior latex or oil-based paint to protect your furniture from UV rays.

Problem: Article: Wood fillers are thick pastes that usually come in round tubs. Use a small putty knife to apply the filler into the depressions created by your screw heads, as well as any knots or imperfections in the wood. Scrape away the excess filler, as this will make sanding easier later.  Follow the product’s instructions for application and drying times. You can leave the screw heads exposed if you like, especially if you may want to remove the ladder-stairs later. Use a piece of fine-grit (150-180 grit) sandpaper or an equivalent sanding block. Rub the entire wood surface with light and even pressure. Keep sanding until the wood feels smooth to the touch.  If you’ve applied wood filler, wait until it’s completely dry before sanding it. You may need to sand a bit more aggressively to smooth out excess filler. For your safety, wear a dust mask and eye protection when sanding. If you’re painting the wood, apply a primer first and then 1-2 coats of your chosen paint. If you’re staining the wood, apply a small amount in an inconspicuous area first to check the color. Then use a brush or rag to apply the stain, and wipe away the excess with a cloth. If you want the structure to retain a natural look, it’s still advisable to apply a clear wood sealant, using the same techniques as you do for staining.
Summary: Apply wood filler to cover the depressed screw heads (optional). Lightly sand the entire ladder-stairs structure. Stain or paint the ladder-stairs to match the bunk set.

Problem: Article: Typically, the back of the refrigerator is the coldest part, which will help preserve the flavor and texture of the caviar. Do not open the tin until you are ready to eat it, as this will decrease its shelf life. It is a good idea to only purchase the amount you expect to eat in a single sitting. However, if you do have leftover caviar, return it to the original tin, place a piece of plastic wrap over the top, and close the tin securely. Then, put the tin back into the refrigerator for 1-3 days to keep the taste fresh. To preserve the flavor, only use coated dishes and spoons when you're serving caviar. Avoid serving the caviar with a metal spoon or dish, as the delicacy will absorb the metal flavors. If you do not have one of these special spoons, grab a simple plastic or wooden spoon instead. You can purchase caviar spoons at your local department store in the kitchenware section or online with major retailers. Caviar is a delicate dish that should be kept chilled. This will help preserve the flavors and quality of the product. You could also rest the caviar bowl on an ice pack if you don't have any crushed ice on hand. To get the most from the experience, bring the caviar to your nose and inhale the aroma, then taste a small amount. Try not to chew the caviar or you might miss some of the more subtle flavors, as well as the unique texture. Instead, use your tongue to roll the eggs around in your mouth. Caviar is very rich, and it’s meant to be tasted or served in small amounts. If you are eating it plain, aim for 1/2 tsp (2.67 g) of caviar per tasting. If you are including it in a meal or as an appetizer, use approximately 1-3 tsp (5.33-16 g) of caviar. Since caviar is a traditional Russian delicacy, it is often paired with vodka. The vodka complements the flavors of the caviar and cleanses your palate between tastings. If you’d prefer something a little lighter, though, caviar and champagne go together very nicely.
Summary:
Store your tin of caviar in the back of the refrigerator. Use a bone, crystal, or mother of pearl spoon to handle the caviar. Keep the caviar chilled on crushed ice while you have it sitting out. Eat a small spoonful of plain caviar to experience the subtle flavor. Sip on a glass of chilled vodka or champagne to cleanse your palate.
