Repainted out the back

The back of the house, under the dividing fence has concrete as a retaining wall. When I first arrived, it was grey concrete - not at all inspiring. I painted it black, or Monument or Domino, whichever colour I had handy, and I think it has made that area look a lot better. It looks more intentional now. Neater.

I want to further paint arches on the corrugated fence, over the birdy panels, to create interest, but getting the right golour green paint and then measurig big enough arches will be a challenge. I can't remember exactly when I first painted the back wall - turns out it was 2019. I have had it that colour for 5-6 years already! First June 2019 decision making process And then May 2020 further painting updates

Up early on last day of Sept holidays

...to put another coat of black paint on the awning, and to paint the rest of the fence at the front. It looks so smart now! Of course, that unpainted bower-seat still needs painting. White, I am thinking. But I need to scour it some more first to remove bits of old red colour (from Ron's old place).

Some of the cross-beams are half-rotted but I will paint them anyway, a bit later. So here is how it looked 6 years ago, in 2019 -

and now....

Still some bits to be fixed and redefined, but on the whole, much better street appeal!
