Randy, you say that wasn't a fun job. Two weeks ago today, after I refinished our deck the day before, I put the furniture back on the deck, then I picked up a big potted plant with a metal pan under it to catch any water that ran through, and I was wrestling that darned thing back up onto the deck when I tripped on the step and fell on my face on that plant and the metal pan; destroying both. Big bruise on my left arm and I knew the upper part of my left ribs hurt pretty bad, but I had no problem getting up and went on about my business. But after 2 days of not being able to sleep much because of the pain in my left chest, I finally went to my doctor, got x-rays made and concluded nothing broken, just badly bruised. And after another 10 days I started being able to sleep OK again.
And neither my wife, nor the daughter who gave her that big potted plant, said a word about me destroying it.
