I did my own fence and gate ,replace the wood and stained and painted the gate and outside wall 3 years ago in COVID season because many people were sacred to go out or even come close to you ,done and dusted in 4 days !!!!
if it's your own home then nobody can do anything as long as it's just that ,I painted the whole of my villa outside 3 years ago and my Thai wife helped me, nobody said anything to me !!
