After two years, Virginia had had it with the white fence. The first third of it is now green — whispering windy pine, I think is the paint’s name. Thanks to Rich Alexander for use of his power washer. Made the whole thing much easier. Took 8 hours to do 23 8-foor sections, so almost 200 feet. Another 300 or so to go. Can hardly wait! (My back and hamstrings were very tight when I ran the next morning.) More photos.
