Mom, I ache all over. Even my sore muscles have sore muscles. I have been swinging from ladders and hauling paint cans and going up and down in defiance of gravity in order to re-oil the custom-designed hand-built suncover on the patio. It's mostly teak and redwood, and a coat of oil every four years or so makes it pretty much bullet proof. But boy, waht a pain in the ass to do it!!   I can see why some people throw up their hands and put in ugly vinyl patio covers. Oy, to be thirty again!
