Deck staining project took way longer than expected
Dude. 3 coats of stain because I thought I was being thorough. Took all weekend and my back is killing me. 6yo helped for like 20 minutes then got bored. At least it looks good now. Anyone else way underestimate home projects or is it just me every single time.
Three coats is actually the right call for a good finish but yeah it's exhausting. I did a deck last summer and my takeaway was 'never again' but here we are thinking about sealing it this year. Your back has my sympathy.
