so it will be a good weekend.
Staining the fence is what I did last weekend. In a word, it sucked. I've done a fair amount of painting, but staining is worse. The reasons why are tedious: Stain is runnier than paint and tends to blow all over the place when you're using something theoretically designed to make your task easier (i.e., a paint sprayer).
I ended up with ridiculous amounts of paint in my hair, and yet the gray still showed. Not fair.
Ultimately, the fence ended up looking quite good. I didn't do part of it: The side that faces the wetlands. The obsessive side of me is a little bothered by this, but it's a testament to how annoying the process of staining is that I can let it go. And so I am.
Tomorrow, my project will be a little exterior painting. Basic stuff, just some peely spots. And then we're off to T-ball and a birthday party for the boys' cousin Gavin.
