Some home renovation projects just seem to take forever and this has been one of them. We've been working on getting the house painted for a month now and we're into the final stretch. I spent much of last Saturday painting the spindles of this deck railing. Getting down and up in-between those boards was a b*itch! I guess that's why we didn't re-paint them the last time we painted the house 15 years ago. And sitting cross legged on that black roof-deck for 6 hours wasn't much fun either.
I did have lots of company. These little dragon flies seem to really love sunning themselves on the railing. Every time I stood up there were at least 6-10 of them up there.
And when I got done, I plopped a chair on the little deck in the backyard and had myself a cold beer. Ahhhhhh, relaxation!!

I remember my dad having to paint our house a few times (Massachusetts) and then he had siding put up. You have done an amazing job as I remember how hard he worked on it. Our house is stucco. We may have to have it re-stuccoed but they say that in New Mexico it should last 50 years. As I'm 52 and the house is 23 years, I'm hoping it lasts for 70 years.
