Deck staining nightmare

S

2w ago1 min read

Why did I think Saturday was a good day to stain my deck. Thought I'd be done by 5pm. Ended up out there til 9pm with a brush in one hand and a beer in the other, sweating through my shirt. Wife had to practically drag me inside. The deck looks great though and my arms are still sore. The whole thing took way longer than the internet said it would.

This is why I stick to the small stuff on weekends now. Deck staining is a dad trap. You need like a full Saturday AND Sunday, plus perfect weather, plus kids who are occupied elsewhere.

Saturday deck staining is basically a commitment to your entire weekend. I made that mistake once and swore never again. Did you at least get it done or is it a multi-week project now?

Oh man, I feel this in my soul. Every time I think I can knock something out in a few hours on the weekend, reality hits different when you've got kids interrupting every 20 minutes.
