Staining the fence


Well this weekend we decided to stain the fence. We had bought an automatic sprayer and were ready to go, but Saturday was very windy and it was a disaster. So Sunday we started again but this time the sprayer wouldn't work (yes the monster came and broke it overnight!) So we were back to using brushes!! So that is 630 feet of fence, but both sides, so that is 1260 feet of fence to be stained. YIPEE FUN TIMES!!!! Well Joe got out of the project because his doctor diagnosed him with pneumonia and everytime he came outside he would cough and wheeze. So he was inside with Graham. Luke joined me and our friend Daly in the painting. And Yes he did help paint and had stain everywhere, but that is ok he was good with the brush and in a few years it may be his job to do it all!!!!! So we got

one side done-which is 220 feet plus 48 additional feet. So we are only a small way into the fence and a lot to go, not sure it will happen before winter, but we will see!! If anyone wants to come and help we don't turn down volunteers!!
