Journey of a thousand miles, and all that

[saffronhare]

I started power washing the back yard fence this afternoon. Granted, I only did two sessions, and one of those was slow while I figured out the process and settings. Still...only managed four panels, which is discouraging because I can barely lift my arms now. It's a messy enough job that I can only take it on when I can shower afterwards. I'm trying not to think about how long it'll take me to get it all done. I'm immensely glad my parents gifted us with the power washer, though, because I can't imagine how unreasonable it would be to manage the whole task in one day. Then it'll be time for repairs and staining, which need to happen pretty soon after because the poor wood will be all unprotected and stuff.
