Be sure to enter the giveaway at the bottom of this post.
BTW, this is a sponsored post, I’m happy to be a Homeright Brand Ambassador.
Well, the fence is done—mostly! There are a few more things to do, plus a new sidewalk needs to be created. And…. a whole lot of painting!
Painting a fence can be a big challenge, but if you hop over to Homeright.com you will see how I am tackling this huge job and get all the details of how I’m doing it.
In addition, while you’re at Homeright, be sure to check out their new site and I highly recommend signing up for their email subscription or rss feeds by putting homeright.com/diy in your favorite reader.
Update! I painted three more sections yesterday. Even though I had already painted the sections to the left of the arbor, after I painted the sections to the right (yesterday) it made such a HUGE difference and brought a huge smile to my face. I believe part of it has to do with the greener grass.
I averaged about 25 mins per each of these sections. Not bad, eh?
You can get the details here.
Now for the giveaway.

Wow! You have done a great job. Though it looks difficult but seeing you do it so well with the sprayer gives me the confidence that I can at least give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Love your fence.

Your fence looks great! I also really like the Lynbrook coffee table by Rouge Engineer.
Looks great! Follow you everyday.
Looks amazing !
The fence looks wonderful! I saw Christy Black and many others I follow and my favorite project is one I’ll be working on soon, diy painted outdoor cushions. I’m inspired!
I love the new DIY site for Homeright.com. It hard to choose which project is my favorite? So many great idea’s. The new fence looks awesome. Great Job! I guess I will pick the DYI picket fence as my favorite, but I like all your DYI Idea’s. Keep up the DYI’s.
Your site is awesome! Very easy to navigate and not cluttered like a lot of blogs that I’ve seen. Your fence is great! We are hoping to put up new fencing this summer.
I have been wanting to buy this sprayer for so long! Love your painted fence!
Love the new site! I might tackle the Lego cube table for the PreK class at our school. I just repurposed a desk to a kitchen island following one of your blog posts. Would love to win the paint sprayer to finish it up!s
Home right site is nice. So many creative projects. Can’t pick just one.
Like many of the others here, I LOVE YOUR FENCE the best!
I love the fence….could you help me talk my hubs into it?

This is looking Amazing! love your new fence! and I love all of the DIY projects listed there.
I really like the site and your fence looks great as well!
Gail it is looking Amazing!!!! Wow so beautiful! I can’t imagine paint it without a finish max!!
this would be great to win
I liked Christy Black’s stenciled accent wall. That looks like just the thing to get my daughter excited about her new bedroom space.
Love it all but the headboard coat rack is my fav.
Headboard Coat Rack is one of my favorite projects listed! love how the site is easier to navigate and searching is a whole lot easier!
Love your blog, and like the Homeright site too. My fav project would be everything in the ‘furniture’ department. I miss a “search” option though.
Your fence is fabulous. The new site is super easy to use.
Love the updated site. My favorite project is DIY Towel Bar Chair Project
The fence looks really good. I like that you can see what each expert has done.
Your fence is looking really good, and I wish I could win the Homeright paint sprayer. The homeright site has lots of great ideas too.
I like all of the DIY tips. My favorite is STACY RISENMAY.
I did some painting today and it didn’t go super well. I think a finish max would make my life much sweeter!
Your fence has really been a labor of love. Having the Homeright sprayer is a blessing though. The new site is great for bringing all the different ideas into one place. Gail I follow your posts every week so you must be my favorite!
I really like the new site! With all of the project details it doesn’t feel intimidating and will hopefully encourage others to flex their DIY muscles!
I love your new fence! I have a picket fence to install and some doors to paint. Seriously want to get the Homeright Finish Max to do the painting!
I love all of the DIY projects listed there. Your fence looks great!
WOW!!!! What a fence, and a yard changer!
The new website is great–easy to understand and attractive.
I like the new website. But honestly, my favorite project there, at this moment, is your fence. I’m hoping to do something similar for my yard this year.
This project has really renewed my interest in refinishing some furniture I have in my garage. 🙂 I’d LOVE to have a sprayer to make the job easier!
Having built a picket fence – AND painted it by hand – I’m well qualified to say how great yours looks! You’ll get to feel that satisfaction every time you look at it.
Checked out the diy site, and I’m all ready to go clean my car with my steamer!
it looks wonderful!!!!!
Loved seeing Karrie Annes faux locker…did see that before. Good luck on the fence, it looks great!
I have never painted a fence, but I did install a fence with a good friend reusing pickets another friend had removed from his property in order to install a taller privacy fence. Using the sprayer seems much easier than the Tom Sawyer method!
Your fence looks fantastic!!
Loving the new site, and for sure YOU are my fave!
I like how the new site has detailed info on cost and timeframe and difficulty level for the projects. I like your piece on when it is too cold to paint outside with the sprayer.
