I've been pacing myself, actually. Instead of a marathon staining session, I did one side of the garage every other day. It was much easier on my body and was only 1 1/2 hours a night. I would take tomorrow off from working, but the rain forecast really has me worried about getting the deck done. I never sit out there, so it's dirty, the paint is peeling and I still haven't painted the boards that were replaced last summer. I also have to figure out how to plug up the knot holes that have fallen out...or the knots have fallen out? Anyway, a heel could easily get caught and I have friends who always wear heels.
