My neighbour is a 'handyman/gardener' by trade, so I engaged him to paint all the fencing (about twenty large panels and some trellises too) in the back garden. I had to buy the fence-paint (three large tins). He came a few days ago, but instead of a paintbrush, he brought a spraying machine. Fair enough, but he managed to spray 'Medium Oak' paint all over the concrete posts, and worse still, the windows, walls and frames of the new utility room (which had cost us £14,000!).
He'd charged me a hundred pounds to do this. Luckily my husband (who still comes over to see me every weekend) was horrified, and we went off to a DIY shop where he bought some product to remove the paint without damaging the plastic structure. He rubbed and scrubbed for hours bless him, and the window panes and utility room walls etc are now paint-free.
My husband is so practical and helpful. I wish he'd come back and live with me!
