    So I really do appreciate the input on the darker green color. We like it a lot. So now I'll ask the Super Home Improvement Team Tacoma (SHITTs) for another round of opinion.

    What color do you like on the trim?

    The lighter color, or the darker? (The darker color is actually the primer base, but darn if it doesn't look bad)..

    Lighter color. White(ish?) looks cleaner than the tan in my opinion.

    Hey, OZ... What do you mean by a 'Rhino' fence? Is that a concrete fence?

    the tan may hide dirt spots better though, especially with all the gravel around your place. if you're doing the bottom part the same color, combine the dirt with heavy rain and the splatter may show less on the tan.

    Started another studio yesterday and 70'foot fence. A couple of trips to the lumber yard....think I went over the payload by a few hundred lbs. :eek:

    Hopefully after a few more of these I can just pay off the taco. :fingerscrossed:

    We get a lot more dry dusty winds here. Not so much heavy rain. Might rain that way a couple times a year, tops.

    Ultimately I'm going have a 2-3' wide area around the perimeter of the building dug down about 8-12", lined with landscape fabric and filled with 6"+ river rock. We shouldn't have much in the way of splash back with that..

    It should be fine for a bit, I've had chunks of it left outside for a long time. What's the final plan, and any openings getting added?

    Still have to do some touch up painting to do, but finally knocked out my 10x16 storage shed today that I have been trying to finish the past month. Don't be too hard on me....this was my first time ever doing a project like this.

    Haha, thanks. This was one of those things where my wife said she didn't think I could do it and we should just buy one, so I had to try and prove her wrong.

    I understand they have become quite the nuisance there. Followed closely by moose.

    I raised quail and built a fence, but that didn't work either.
