Am I Crazy?

I've been meaning to re-stain my deck as it's been 3 1/2 years since it was last done. But, we do have a covered deck, so it seems to weather the weather a bit better than an uncovered deck. But, it's a big deck, 12 x 20, and 15 steps up, so I've been putting it off, not really wanting to tackle the big project. Plus, I've never stained a deck myself, so was a little nervous about the whole process. So, I waited until the hottest and most humid week of the year to do it. Ha. Actually, I stained the stairs a couple of days ago, and spent about 5 hours this afternoon and evening staining the spindles. It sure is tedious work as I'm using a brush. But, it does look really good. I still have another couple of spindle sections to complete, the floor boards, and the undercarriage. At least I won't have to do it for another 3 years. It's supposed to rain tomorrow night, so I wanted to get as much done as possible.
