Saturday
Hi all,
Much happening, yesterday turned out to be pretty busy!! I spent about 4 hours on the balcony sanding and painting the wood for our chair. I like the color so far, and it will get a bit darker with the second coat. Unfortunately it is supposed to rain today in the afternoon, so I think I will just rub the wood with steel wool (recommended) then place the wood in a plastic bag or cover it for the night. Tomorrow it is supposed to be warmer and no rain, so hopfully I will be able to be finished with the messy part of the job.
Of course sitting on the balcony in the same position for 3 hours I have one shoulder back burn from the sun. I did not even notice that I was sunburned until Roanna pointed it out. Cause it was nice I sunny I just wore my under shirt on the balcony to get sun, just a little to much. Ah well Canadian sunburns are worth about 60% of a Bermudian sunburn.
Anyhoo off to a late breakfast/early lunch. See ya all, I take a picture of the current project and post tommorow.

What colour are you painting your chair? You know what to do when it's all finished....plus with your pink skin you burn at any little bit of sunshine,lol
Just staining it a bit darker, it was a very white pine, it was fine after one coat, and seems like it will be a bit darker after the second coat cures. Well, as for the "pink skin" it is fairly light now, after being up in Canada for almost two years!! I need by Bermuda "Base Tan!!" Or as I like to call it, sexy brown!!
Thanks for the comments.
