The fence!

This summer we decided it was time to paint the fence.....oh my goodness......we didn't know what we were in for!!! The wood was so dry that the minute we put anything on it, it would soak right up. A neighbor told us it would take about 5-6 cans to take care of the job NO WAY was it 5-6 cans.........It took 24 cans to do the job!!!!
My parents came over to help the first day. We thought we could get it all done in a day with 4 people working on the job. Nope.....Rick and I had to put in another full day on top of that. We worked well as a team and got the job done nicely though. I have since found some areas that need to be touched up but other than that it looks so much nicer. Yeah!!!

Rick is the type of person that likes to complete a job start to finish no matter what it takes. He is good for me....I start many many projects and seem to have lots to finish up on any given day. Well, hopefully we won't need to work so hard next time the fence needs painting since it got a fresh new coat : )
Ahhhhhhhhh so pretty now. Love it!
