Fence painting

Fence Painting

We've had a chappie round the last couple of days painting some of our fences at the entrance to the property. He takes his time but he's done a lovely job. It's done in Red Cedar which I always think looks a bit darn red, but we had it at our old place and now this one, so I think we must like it. It is a bit scary at first, but it will look lovely and warm and welcoming as we drive in in winter, or look across from the conservatory.

We have a length of hose that goes the length of the fence, and all the way to the back of the garden, which is about 120 feet. The bad news is that when putting it back in place our painter guy managed to pierce it with a nail, which is a right pain, as attempts at repair with a connector failed. We might have to get some better hose. What with that, and me cutting the cable to the 12v garden lights, it's a real pain. Ray re-connected that, but it still doesn't work so he is going to put a new transformer on, and that was expensive. Hope it works!
