More Lanai Painting

We spent several hours painting the lanai boards a dark brown color.  When they are covered with the floorboards, the dark color will make them blend in.

We also started clearing some of the undesirable vegetation along the driveway.  The plants with the orange-ish stems are waiwi (pronounced vie-vee), also known as strwberry guava. Waiwi is a non-native, invasive species that crowds out native plants.  It's going to be a a long process, but we can use the thicker stems as posts for the lanai railings.
