SHANTY TOWN FENCE...MILLER PAINT TO THE RESCUE!


 Our neighbor's "new" fence along our driveway. 

The original blew down during a big windstorm this winter and they rebuilt it using new posts and the original 40 year old cedar boards. IDIOTS ABOUND, IT SEEMS. It looked like HELL, and we decided its only hope was to paint it and give it some uniformity.
 Before we painted, we had to saw off the boards that were sticking out beyond the posts on our side. The neighbor heard the saw and came out saying, "I wanted those boards that way! Shame shame shame," he said for not asking my permission to cut them! We told him, "Go fuck yourself! It's our side of the fence and it looks like HELL!"
 

It took $200, 5.5 gallons of Miller Storm in "boxwood" color, and a week long  sacrificing of our bodies. We painted all 19 panels and the gate. Worth every penny, don't you think?
