It's good to know that I'm not alone, thanks.

Question: I have a couple of decks/porches off of the back of my house. The wood is just raw, it's never been stained or treated. I'm afraid it's going to rot and that I need to stain it to protect it. Can I do this while the boards are all in place or do I need to take the thing apart? If the answer is I don't need to remove the boards, then I'll do it myself. Otherwise, it's beyond my skill level.
