Staining Wood

I am in the process of putting up a new playset/swingset fort thing in our backyard. But I have to stain it first. Something I have never done. I made a huge mess, stained more then just the wood and now have a very tired arm. And I am not even 1/4 of the way done.

Input:
6 nuggets
Iced Tea
A couple waffle fries
Boneless beef ribs
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Green Beans
Water with Gatorade

Output:
32 minutes of Wii Activity
Lots of "painting"
