White Picket Fence

 Isn't there some theory that everyone is after a house with a white picket fence. That is fine until it is time to paint it. I swore off painting when I moved here and I guess six years is a good run without any paint jobs. We did have paint jobs but we paid a neighbour to do the painting including this same fence. I think we just did a better job than him.  This fence is old and has been repaired previously and we have now scrubbed off any rust stains and painted them over.  We had all that was needed paint, sand paper, brushes and some original old painting clothes. It should last another three yar before all the whole thing will need to be replaced. In parts there is no wood left at the very bottom of some pickets.  It was a 5 hr job with rising temperatures the whole day. Don't get to close for an inspection.
