An exhausting day but well worth it!

At last we’ve had 2 consecutive dry days.There was only one job that required that.
The lower boundary fence was crying out for a restain…a few weeks ago we were able to pressure wash it to remove the ugly green stuff.That was quite successful.
I saw a good offer for Cuprinol Black Ash,a colour we have never used before.
It has turned out well,not a solid black but a grey/black.The green foliage stands out much more.
The inside of the fencing we stained Dark Brown…the 5 litres of Black Ash were quickly used up on the exterior.
It was an arduous job especially reaching the lower levels.Thankfully it’s done! I must admit part of me does enjoy it .
I’m sure a few of you are taking the opportunity to do similar jobs before the rain returns.

Looks very nice Meadowland, and your garden is looking lovely. We have just started painting our fence today, hope it looks as good as yours.

What a smashing result, it sits naturally in the background allowing your lovely planting to be star of the show. A really lovely garden.
