Painting the fence

After the houses were built behind us, especially the huge one with hardly any backyard, both us and Bruce were getting flooded down the side of the fence after days of big rains. The Roaches house got it worse than us, but it ran a small river along the fence. We talked with Bruce several times about what to do; finally last summer he had a landscaper take out the old, falling down fence, trench and river rock underneath, and rebuild a new fence. Solved the problem about 80%, which is 100% better than it was. But now I had a fence to paint.

Last fall I began painting and got it about 1/2 to 2/3 done. The rainy weather put the project on hold until this spring. Scott is out right finishing it, and then repainting the fence on the other side. We had it done 4 years ago, but with this hot sun, it already needs it again. The fence in back we will let go until the subdivision gets the old fence taken out, then I can paint (stain) the fence that was put in by our other backyard homeowners.

We will be quite happy to have this done.
