White Picket Fence at the Miyazaki House

In November 2019 the white picket fence was replaced at the Miyazaki House. As far back as we have records, the grounds at the Miyazaki House have been enclosed with a wooden picket fence. Wood has a limited life span and many parts of the fence were in need of replacing due to rot and decay. Plus the white paint was peeling.

We hired Brian Sulivan a local contractor to remove the old fence, dispose of the old material and replace it with a tradtional white picket fence along Russel Lane.

The picket art project. As part of one of our art shows we had a fun art project for the children, picket painting. We wanted to encourage creativity, community awareness and developed a sense of pride. It was fun for all ages. We enjoyed the art for a few years before the fence was replaced.

We are very fortunate that the District of Lillooet public works takes good care of the grounds, mowing the grass and weed-eating the edges in the warm months.

Here’s our beautiful, traditional white picket fence. Another project on our to do list is completed!
