dipping shingles

Since the weather has turned hot and humid and digging weeds is painful work, I've started dipping the cedar shingles we are going to side the house with. Dipping shingles gives them better coverage than painting, rollering, or spraying them once they are already in place.

 I dip a shingle in the bucket of stain, brush off excess stain, and stand them in the drying rack that Martin built. The next morning, I box up the dry shingles and start again with the next bundle. I am hoping to average at least 2 bundles a day. More would be better, but it is amazing how many things interrupt my good intentions.
