Last time I saw a fence that messed up was the result of two bulls having a turf war on a little farm outside of Douglass TX. (Actually they were more interested in cows than turf.) That's when I realized that barbed wire is nothing more than a suggestion to a bull. It'll take a lot more than a reel of wire and a come-along to fix up that mess.
I just read an article suggesting that in the South, the number of horizontal slats on your horse farm fence denotes social position. Just thought I'd share that.
The bull that knocked those boards down was me. Actually the fence was last years work.
I'm going to check with the bosses but I'm sure they will want to add another rail, or two. Did the article also state that you can tell the character of a man by how he keeps his fence? Because you can you know.
OK, then who sanded down all the details on the fence in the foreground?
Me, the power sanding fool. I'll post the before picture here in a sec.
Freak.
(but I've done that too)
That's a situation where I would have days obsessive fun with the heat gun before I switched to obsessive fun with the sander.
I don't really have attraction to the heat gun, on account of the outside temperature usually being all the heat I can stand. But you're up there in the tundra, right? Canada?
You're right, up here those paint removers are one of our few home heating options.
One thin caretaker taught me that a bleach-solution treatment on a white fence is damn near as good as a coat of paint.
Go 4 board.
