Tom Sawyer Got It Partially Right When Whitewashing the Fence
by Kevin Smith AuthorThere's a famous scene where Tom Sawyer has
been tasked with whitewashing the fence, and it's something he
doesn't want to do at all. When one of his friends stop by and asks what
he's doing, Tom makes it sound like he's having a whole lot of fun doing this
chore. He talks it up so much that his friend offers to whitewash it
for him. Tom grimaces and says he doesn't know if he wants to give up the fun.
His friend offers him a trade, and Tom accepts it. Soon Tom's talked a lot of
his friends into whitewashing the fence, and they are paying Tom for the
privilege. Chances are, you don't know anyone gullible enough to fall for the
ruse. If you need someone to do a fence staining in Cartersville, it's best to
call a professional.
Why Stain the Fence?
While Tom was using whitewash, if you have
a beautiful wood fence, you don't want to hide the wood under a ton of white
paint. Stain helps bring out the natural beauty of your wood and gives the
fence a more natural feeling. Many people would cite a home with a white picket
fence as the ideal place to live, but that's only because they haven't seen how
great a fence that has been stained looks.
Stain not only brings out the natural
beauty of the wood, it also protects it from the elements. Water and sun can
damage wood and cause it to decompose. Staining your fence will keep it viable
for a long time to come.
Why Hire A Professional?
Back when Tom was whitewashing the fence,
the only guarantee that people had was a person's own need to protect his name.
Now, stain companies and the businesses that apply the stain offer warranties
and guarantees that cover the life of the stain and how it will protect your
fence.
By hiring a professional to for your fence
staining in Cartersville, you are ensuring that
the warranties remain valid and that the work comes with a guarantee backed by
the business. You are also getting the best work done by someone who is experienced
in the application of stain. They have the tools and are saving you the time it
would take to do the job yourself. It might not be as nice as getting paid to
have someone whitewash your fence, but you'll still get to sit back on your
porch and enjoy the day.
