Well you are a quicker learner than me.
I used a brush on 2 houses and then finally hired a sprayer the next time. Definitely worth it. Another tip for fences is to hose them down first and paint them when they are just damp. It stops the paint from being soaked up too much and you still get good coverage with 2 coats.

Thats a fantastic idea. I remember the paint being soaked into it pretty much instantly as you spray it on. Thanks for that!!

I put up some more mirrors today, and got a new car to go nicely in the driveway haha!!

Now the plan is, render the front of the house. Build the fence and/or put a merbau deck out the back with french doors leading out to them.

Anyone winning tatslotto?? haha...Maybe I should go back to work. Grrr

Pity about the whole needing money thing. But Rome wasn't built in a day.
Which room were the mirrors for? Do you have a picture? Love to see them

And CHEAP! $30 from Kmart lol!

It just adds a bit more depth to the room and that wall looked really bare. I dont know if you can see but we have white venetians to the right of the fireplace so it all matches really well.
