A partial view of the backyard. Three more lighted garden columns, in addition to another view of the swing and swing stand and two of the four benches on the property. Photographed in early May by our homeowner following the wettest winter since 1982–hence the greenness of the banking hillside. Green is good. Brown, dry, tinderbox is bad.

READING: When you read you make it clear you have drawn your attention from those around you. Perhaps your interest and concern. Who can tell? You are not available. The ability to be physically present but not actually there is a disturbing reminder that people who are supposed to love and care for you live inside their own heads and that their thoughts are their own. It can be a worry.

Four-sided lighting grid. The Wood Column cap features ‘light holes’. This is of no interest whatsoever until the black of night, when only the lighted upper grid and the cap’s light holes are visible.

March 6, 2018
Greetings Charles and Ben— We are proud owners of your beautiful cedar fencing and would like to care for it as best as possible. It was installed about ten years ago and had a light sealant applied at that time. It looks like it could now benefit from a bit of cleaning and possibly another coating of sealant but I wanted to check in with you before proceeding to see if you recommended any specific products or processes—or perhaps nothing at all. The fence is installed at our home in upstate NY where weather conditions can be pretty extreme. Photo attached. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. And thank you for your very beautiful, high quality woodwork. We feel so fortunate to have found you!
All the best, Maria

Hi Maria, I had to look you up. Normally I remember everyone, but it seems that this one was managed through Russell Yess in 2009. We’ve done a few projects through him, but we haven’t actually heard from his quarter in quite some time. I assume he’s doing fine.

About the time of your projects we were field testing a new finish called WoodRX that we’ve been defaulting to for the past 7-8 years for all of our pre-finishes, as well as those like yours that have grayed out. You can read abound t it here:<https://prowellwoodworks.com/articles/_site_articles/exterior_finishes.htm>

Two favors I’d like to ask: One, because we never received any photos of the original installation, perhaps you would be willing to send along a few hi-res pics once you’ve applied the WoodRX. But also, we’d love something now, in the midst of this 3rd storm you’re being hit with. So much snow. It would make for a wonderful photo of the fence even though most of it is likely covered in snowdrifts.

Note: As of 2023, Prowell no longer offers pre-finishes.

Oh, and Rodney, our shop neighbor who seems always to be awestruck over something or other.
Whoa, what do we have here?
Whoa, what’s new today?
Whoa, now that’s really something.

But then, let’s face it, Rodney’s a small man. At only 10″+ tall, everything in the Prowell shop must seem impressive.
