I may only be 39, but my poor old arthritic knees are about 70, LOL! I use
a short stool (a step stool) when I can, but when the ground is too soft and
mushy for a stool, I use knee pads Both work well

My knees have just about had it as far as gardening or seriously
cleaning any type of floor. What does everybody do to cut down on the
strain? Do you kneel on something, or squat, or use a short stool?

I use a pair of knee pads when laying brick, stone, or floor
installations. I had a knee replacement 5 years ago. It makes a big
difference.
