Painting the Barn
One of the projects on our to-do list is giving the barn a fresh coat of paint.
It’s been seven years since the barn was built, and it definitely needed a new coat of paint. I had hoped to find oil-based paint because it’s longer lasting, but apparently they don’t sell it anymore. I did switch brands however. In the past we used Lowe’s Valspar paint on everything and were satisfied with it. But the quality doesn’t seem to be as good as it used to be, so I switched to Glidden which seems to be a better product. At least it gives better coverage, so that means fewer coats.

This side of the barn is where our fig trees used to be. We had a slow die-off over the past several years. Except for one young survivor, they’ve been removed and I planted the area with fescue. The magnolia tree in the center of the picture serves as winter shelter for scores of birds. Grandiflora magnolias are evergreens with large leaves and offer good protection for them. Early in the morning the bird song and chatter is quite loud!
Of fig trees we planted two new ones.
We put them is a different spot, where they’ll receive more sun. It will be a few years until we get figs, but they do well in our growing zone and are easy to maintain.
That’s one big job crossed off the list! Now I’m on to giving Dan’s workshop a repaint.
