Lots of paint work

I have stairs, a shed and fencing, all made of wood, in my garden. It all needs maintenance. I aim to paint it once a year, but I must admit that I don't always manage that. And sometimes you've painted them, and then not get the impression that it made an awful lot of difference.

The state of my wood was a bit of an issue to Neil. He had been dreaming of painting it with different (better) paint, and of just how much satisfaction that would give him. So after two busy days with his family, he was quite happy to pick up a paintbrush in the weekend and get to work. He didn't mind at all that I did entirely different chores, and wasn't helping.

We had bought a 5 litre can of paint especially for the occasion, and he finished it all. The shed and the stairs look amazing! He didn't do the fencing. But he did do the garage door. I had never painted that. Everything looks amazing, and he is satisfied now! I would say that's a success…
