Ashley and Tracey met up at Sinfin Community Centre, where we had been asked to help with some fence painting. The task owner wasn't actually available to greet us, but had sent a deputy who provided us with two pots of paint and some brushes. We decided to use separate pots so we could tackle both sides of the fence at the same time. When we opened them up, one was medium oak and one was dark oak...

We suggested painting the inside of the fence with medium, and the outside with dark, and the chap from the community centre agreed that this idea was oakay, so we set to work. Unfortunately when the actual task owner arrived, it turned out that the medium oak paint actually belonged to the playgroup, and he produced another tin of the dark oak. No offence was taken; we did a quick changeover at the end of a panel, and you can't see the join (honest).

We had a pleasant couple of hours painting a few fence panels, some posts and a gate, enjoying a good chat in the sunshine. The task owner was very appreciative, and happy to provide us with tea and information about events going on at the community centre.

There is plenty more fence left to be painted, and it's a lovely friendly place with plenty of parking for cars and bikes, so please do join in on a future session on either 16th October or 23rd October.
