John and I headed to Birmingham this past Friday to visit with
Courtney and Dave and to help them do some things around the house.
The original plan was to put Lawson's play gym together but due to the ground not being ready
we made a quick change of plans. Courtney had been wanting to weather treat and stain
the fence they put in this time last year. John and I brought our golf cart with us because
we have a big sprayer that we can put on the back.
We started early Saturday morning. We used wood cleaner and
eventually we went to Clorox.
As usual it took so much longer than we expected. You know the way it goes - plan how long it will take and then double it - well, we made the saying true!
Little rain showers weren't helping but, I am not going to complain about rain.
Sunday, after church, we started staining the fence.....
really slow going.
It has to be paint brushed on.
All four of us worked for about a total of 5 hours in between rain showers
and we didn't get but half of one side finished.
John headed home and I stayed to watch Lawson.
Monday and Tuesday, Dave hired some workers and they got almost through Tuesday when
the bottom dropped out and they called it quits.
The fence cleaned and the panel next to it is weatherproofed and stained
Almost finished
It looks great
