town trips Shelly

Saturday...it was me making coffee and on dog care early. Britt was up to preparing for her work day today 10-3. Sheldon was up later and soon off to town to show the rental condo. Our current tenants gave notice for March 1 moving to USA. I got busy waxing the table after another quick sand to reveal the blue better thru the stain and enhance the grain. 3 coats and a power buff and it was ready to stage and posted for my contest post.

The downside to the challenge is all the time spent writing up the blog post, social media posts such as hometalk and submission info on the contest FB page. But the upside is complimentary product to try out and challenge yourself.

I also painted up the antique frame I picked up before Christmas in the key west as well and sanded it heavily and dark waxed it. Below is just after painting. The new chest got a power sanding and a cute orb I created finally got stained, pics once dry

Sheldon was home around 2:30 after over 4 hours and 3 trips to town organizing the condo. The fellow looking this am took it, never takes long to refill. He brought along Edo for a late lunch. On a plus 4 day, he did a bit of dung duty out front before heading to the shop. where he called me out and we came up with a plan for the stair area, railing and last part of that wall. I ordered up the stall matting, soon the stall will be all good to use.

Today the high hit +4, again a nice day but the freezing temps the last 2 nights after the days thaw leaves lots of icy dangerous areas, yikes!

Much to Britt's disappointment supper was left overs. I seem to be the only one that does not have the luxury of a few choices of fresh cooked meals presented in front of me at every meal time. While Sheldon perused the internet, I updated the blog, did marketing and FB page cleanup and put the newly finished table on Kijiji as well as a FB ad boost. Let's see if this brings me any buyers, fingers crossed.
