Okay…it is not a fence, but I have painted the walls in my flat.
Growing up my dad never let me near any household or garden jobs. I think he was worried I would make a mess of the whole job. The frustrating thing was I always wanted to get involved.
The idea to paint a fence/wall came from the thought of working hard in the sunshine, and then having a well-earned beer at the end of it. Picture Andy Dufresne and gang in Shawshanks Redemption having tarred the roof (note – I am aware I am not in jail, and this plays a big part in this scene).
In any case, finding a fence to paint is not so simple, but having recently acquired a flat, there are plenty of walls to work on.
If you too are also new to DIY then I strongly recommend the B&Q YouTube channel for brilliant how to videos.
