Just an FYI. I bought my lake home 11 years ago, don't know when it was last stained but I restained it a couple years ago with a light gray Olympic latex. When I purchased the home there was an unopened gallon of darker gray Olympic oil stain in the garage. I planned on getting rid of it, but I ended up using it on my shed. It must have been at least 20 years old but with some serious stirring I brought it back to life. You could never do that with latex stain. It covered sooo much better than the Olympic water base stain. That one gallon and one coat took care of the whole shed.
