Several years ago, a friend sent out a mass email asking for help with a property he recently bought. When we arrived, there were 50-gallon metal drums filled with wooden-fencing bathing in motor oil.

To this day, my dad’s friends still paint their posts and fences with motor oil. When I was a kid I asked my dad if paint was expensive, he laughed and said that it doesn’t work in Alaska.

Our most recent house is in a very exclusive neighbourhood so we decided to wash the fence with (grey) coloured fence wash, rather than our go-to motor oil. This is the first boundary fence in our family that is rotting out.
