For About 10 Years Our Neighbor Had Been Piling Debris Against Our Split Rail/chicken Wire Fence.?Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:49:01 GMT
Two years ago the fence collapsed and my husband replaced it with a sturdy stockade fence. It kept their debris out of our yard and we didn't have to look at it any longer. Last weekend we discovered out neighbor was using a backhoe to push all his debris against our fence. He then blocked off the mess with a fence of his own! He has put a gate in his fence, and my husband and I can only guess that he will keep adding his debris in that space, eventually breaking our new fence! Any suggestio

How Do You Paint Chicken Wire (with What Paint)?

I am making a photo/memory board for my daughters room and wanted to use chicken wire mesh within a frame I chose. I would like to paint the chicken wire to take the industrial edge off. What is best to paint the chicken wire with that is as non-toxic (am guessing anything will flake off a bit and she's 2 year old) and resilient as possible. Thank you! Angela
