painting and purging progress

Seems it never froze over night, the low was plus 1 and was plus 5 when I got up. They are calling for warm next few days. This makes for more melting snow but the worst is the dog piles that are now squishy land mines!

It had a high of 7, which lingered all day. I was in the garage first thing spraying my chairs their first coat of blue. Once Britt finally got up here she kindly made omelets for our brunch, yum. I had a very productive day in the work shop, I painted a solid wood bench and old press back chair old white. I hand sanded them once dry and even finished the bench but will let dry before staging.






I took apart another old curbside chair and sanded the seat. This one I will paint in exterior paint for a door plant stand.
The afternoon was so nice and sunny I took the dogs for a big long walk. There is a hint in the air that spring is going to require a mask if I walk, dam it Sheldon! They loved the scented trail and big walk. I even spent some time scooping the gross piles around the house. This is rated NOT the best time to do this job, EVER! But it got done and I dibs out the next round! A couple ladies stopped thru the day to grab free dresser and riding boots too.


Back inside I started some supper while Britt continued to study for her big Bio test tomorrow. After supper a fellow stopped out to pickup the large vintage cabinet I had while I put another coat of blue paint on the chairs and wax on the bench.
