    Not me. I've still got half a big container of weatherproofing stuff left over from last year and the ones that do need doing can only be done when I've cut some bushes back in Autumn.smile Strategic planning at its best.

    If furloughed you can't be paid for doing the same job ........ Are you furloughed? can't you volunteer and do it for nothing? just to keep active.

    Serious question.

    Ah yes, I tried spray painting the fences a few years ago and was not impressed with the coverage.

    I have to say painting is my least favourite job and we have nine fence panels 5ft X 6ft just on one side of the rear garden. I’ve painted four this afternoon, will do the rest another day.smile

    At least the weather forecast is good for the next few days.cool

    Keep safe all.

    Home Bargains have 9l tubs for £5.99.    I actually went for some groceries and toiletries/cleaning stuff but picked up the fence paint - will keep furloughed hubby busy 😂

    OH finished painting the fence this week, we started it earlier this year after we had to replace some posts after one of the storms,  we ran out of paint but found some in Wilko's last week.

    After showing SWMBO this video she was immensely keen to paint our newly erected fence - and with paint left over from previous fence painting - she's made a right good job.

    Sorry but any other folk who want her to do their fences are out of luck as we are in lock down for three months.
