Pbbbbth... I'm still tasting some paint and terpentine in my mouth. :P Dad done goofed a bit and I got an accidental brief blast from the paint spray gun when he wanted to show me something on that device. Thankfully the paint was already cleansed out by the terpentine but... yeah, tasting it a bit still. :P
Anyway! My fence at the streetside (well, no street there but you get what I mean) is now a nice green color. Took about 2 hours of spraying but it looks pretty good even if I say so myself.
We'll have to do this again in the winter, I think, when the hedge in front of the fence will lose its leaves. I tried to spray paint as low as possible but 20cm below the top of the hedge is as far as I could go. ;)

@Sphinx I suppose I'll crop my photos later and post them. For now I'm going to take a shower and put on clean clothes. I didn't get paint on my clothes but I'm still feeling a bit icky.
@trinsec No worries.
@Sphinx Here you go, a before and an after. Paint's still wet and the light isn't great anymore for a photo. But all the mish mash of wood is now looking fairly uniform thanks to the paint.
@trinsec Lovely, i can see some green there. and i can see your English grammar is very accurate (a before and an after).
Thank you for sharing the photos.
@Sphinx No problem. I'm glad we finally got this paintwork done. In a few days we'll continue with the roof and check again which corrugated roof we actually want. I guess we'll drop the idea of putting a bitumen corrugated roof on top and go for some transparent plastic instead.
@trinsec you reminds me of Paul, he is the person who thought me how to drive my manual car. he is a roofer.
@Sphinx Heh, we're certainly not roofers. ;) We try to keep it as simple as possible (and not always succeeding...). It's a simple shed type roof we're going for.
(Also, it is 'remind' not 'reminds' here.)
yes, you're right. if start with it, it reminds...you remind...
This is called "number agreement", making sure the subject and verb agree in number (plural or singular).
Normally, a verb for a singular subject (e.g., "Mary") includes the “s”. (Mary runs.), and plural subjects take a verb without the “s”. (Jack and Jill run.)
For some reason the pronoun “you” is treated as a plural, so it’s verb doesn’t have the “s”. (You run.)
Maybe there is someone out there who knows why “you” is treated as plural all the time even when the subject it refers to may actually be singular.
@trinsec
I'm looking for the photo...(a nice green color)
