things that suck about sanding the deck

[personal]

  1. Uneven boards! The job is doomed to be half-assed, regardless of the proportion of ass devoted to it.

  2. A belt sander is just about the wussiest kind of power tool out there. It's not at all satisfying to use.

  3. The belt slides around the sander, requiring constant adjustment. If I stop paying attention the belt begins to shred in a shower of sparks. Which is, surprisingly, still not at all satisfying.

  4. I'm a renter, so hey: now I'm throwing money and sweat down the drain.

  5. The arsenic- and diesel-infused dust I accidentally inhaled has made my lymph nodes swell up and my throat sore.

  6. This is all just a prelude to staining the whole goddamn thing.

  7. Everything not listed above.
