first of all i have to say that i think that the paint producing industry really rips us off.
you know , all this ..'first you need a primer, then an undercoat amd finally a couple of layers of the colour you want'.
honestly, with all our modern sience and technology we arent able to throw a 'one-go-and-done'-paint on the market ?
anyways .. i want to keep you all updated ...
after we had done our days work .. apperently this 'pink primer' (gay?) needs 16 hours to dry .. a little cute puppy dog came over for a visit.

i enjoyed the vistit until i was sent of to get 'movies and something to bite'


you think maybe .. 'empty streets ' but that snot true . fact is i didnt dare to take pictures of people while i was on my way ..
i know . that sucks . but once it isnt a novelty to me anymore , to have a camera with me , i might take acctually interesting pics

when i returned under shouts of 'what took you so long ... 'and alot more of that blabla, people finally relaxed.

the next day though , we had to cover the undercoat and the final layer

thank you sarah !!!
for helping us .... a bit ... and .. err moral support

now here is a picture where you have to pay attention.

you realised the tool jen is using ? yes , it is a spray paint thingy. and it was a great relieve until we noticed that there was a car parked behind the fence we were painting. uh oh ...
if you look at this car now and have a only the slightest bit of fantasy you would think : 'wow , that guy got a night sky painted on his car. now how cool is that ?'
if you ask me , i am a bit worried about him finding out .. but so what . painting a fence is a thing that has to be done , hasnt it ?


back on track ...
before i give you the nice blue fence, i ll give you the blurry people involved in it
from left to right : jen , sarah, neil and me on the camera
(acctually i painted too and even more concreted two timber poles in for the washing line *cough*)

and here we go !!! the result .... (keep an eye out for the marvelously attached clothline .. and how gracefully the two timber posts tell everyone:"a PRO worked here ! for a tradesman call 01800-IGLO )




it is very sad but ... we had a casualty



and for all you dog lovers
two more ...






merry christmas you all

For some reason these threads have struck me as humorous.

Is it your intention to wait until your neighbor confronts you about the damage you've done before you address it with him/her? Did you already dislike your neighbor?

Your fence looks nice anyway.
