philpy Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 After weeks of being sick of looking at the fucking stuff, I've decided I'm going to put a 8ft by 8ft deck up the back garden. Not building a frame though, getting a couple of 8x4 pallets from work, along with some damaged deck boards which I can cut 8ft off which I have stored aside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was too many different colours between all the fences, panels that had been painted that bright reddy Brown beside untouched fence etc. couldn't bare to look at it anymore so it's all going "dark oak" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Had a trip to b and q last week for a few shrubs and flowers, hard originally bought some wooden edging to separate the grass from the plants but it looked awful so I made a trip to the shore and lifted a few stones and it looks much better.

Joking aside, my lupins have done really well this year. Normally only get a couple of flower heads and that's it. Not sure if the drier weather has suited them or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 What's so hard about fence painting?It takes fucking ages. It's hard to get into all the bits that need painted. It's back breaking. Its messy. Its shit. In no particular order 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, today has flown in, got my new 3ft fence done and the 6ft behind the decking (which was a f*cking chore not to get it on the decking with a dust sheet). Had the headphones in and listened to a few stand up shows on Spotify so had a good laugh while painting. Question though, or an opinion rather. What colour oil do you think would be decent on the decking against the dark oak fence? I want to oil it dark oak as well but the Mrs likes the colour it is natural so just wants clear oil. Any opinions welcome.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
