My project was to paint 3/4 of my fence. A few good days should have been enough to complete the project. The piece of fence was 86 feet long and done both sides, It is 6 feet high. Painting fences isn't high tech job.
However, weather and many other issues got in the way. When it was a good day I had something else to do. When you clean off a fence and get it ready for painting and then have to wait, you end up cleaning the fence off again. So preparation of the fence took a long time.
I even thought of Tom Sawyer and the story Tom Sawyer and the fence. Could I talk someone into helping me?
So you see one project turned into a long project.
So here's the result.
The fence looks nice and I'm sure you are happy it's done. I find these days my projects take way, way longer than ever before. I try not to get to agitated about it as it doesn't help any.
ReplyDeleteYes things do take longer. It's hard to remember that one.
DeleteYour fence and your lawn looks wonderful! Good job Red! It takes me a lot longer to get big jobs done these days too. I'm learning to just accept that I'm not as speedy as I used to be.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to get through my head that I may not be like I used to be!
DeleteI think you did a great job, must have been exhausting such a big fence!
ReplyDeleteWell, I skillfully avoided the details. The worst part is the waiting and doing things over.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYour fence looks great, you did a nice job painting. Have a great day, happy weekend!
Thank you. I didn't show you any details so it looks great.
DeleteThat’s a lot of fence. Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Good job, Red. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIt looks great! Really good job there.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteLooks great Red! I am certain it is just your micro manager keeping busy:)
ReplyDeleteThe micro manager keeps me busy doing the things she can't do anymore.
DeleteYou were tenacious and got it done. It looks good.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThe fence looks good. It always feels nice to get a project like that completed.
ReplyDeleteOnce it's finished you can clean up your yard.
DeleteLooks good, and I'm sure it feels good to have it done finally. At least you didn't run out of things to do. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou know that we never run out of things to do!
DeleteIt is beautiful and you didn't spill any on the grass.
ReplyDeleteOkay I admit that I did put paint on the grass but I avoided a photo of paint on the grass. Thanks for caring about my grass!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks excellent. I dislike painting so I admire anyone else who has the will to do it!
ReplyDeleteI hear you! I was trying to clean out junk, then suddenly had my surgery. I gave up and we hired the guys to take it to the dump! Months...
ReplyDeleteI painted my fences in a spell of good weather in the Spring. Mind you I don't have a white solid fence that size to worry about. I don't envy you that task.
ReplyDeleteLooks great now — and we’ll worth the trouble!
ReplyDelete"Could I talk someone into helping me?" ...May we assume that you got The Micro Manager to do the painting while you went swimming with your friends? She did a great job of that fence!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for an experienced fence painter, Red ... you want the job?
ReplyDeleteThat's a big fence you painted. Nice job, Red!
ReplyDeleteThat fence seemed a lot bigger than the one Tom Sawyer tackled, but too bad he wasn't around to help out. Looks really nice especially now that the job is done, Red.
