blustery Friday

Friday was yet another overcast blustery day. The custom painted table set still had odd water marks so they got yet another coat of poly cross hatched this time.  I started work on the one set of nesting tables first by scrubbing them down. While they dried I had Britt help me catch horses and put 3 in round pen to mow and 3 in front of the house. At least the wind was warm plus 9. She was then back in the house to read but did cook a pizza for lunch.

The tables all got their first coat, she chose the aurora, white and grey.

 the tables then got a sanding and rewipe before painting

B spent the day reading, nearly finishing Twilight in one day.  I rousted her to help put the horses back in around 2 then she was back to her book. Sheldon was home early too just after 3. He promptly hit the chair and had a nap. After snoring loudly I had him move to the bed ;) Britt and Coco were napping too so I went back out and put the 2nd coats on the tables.

Leftover supper and Britt took a break to make fresh hot cookies on this dreary day. It did hit 11 but sure seemed blah. Nothing better then cookies. I put on a 3rd coat of white and left them to dry overnight. Another set of nesting tables sold so they got scrubbed up and yes I put yet another coat of poly on just the coffee table, think they will be able to tap dance on it!

Sheldon was off to theater room for hockey, Britt put down her book and was off to hang with Amber and Jason. Seems Jason has an orphan mini she just had to see ;) She did not get home till almost 1 am ol busy B!

I spent the rest of the evening sending photos of past project colors and figuring details with nesting table lady as well as another lady wanting me to do some custom work too. The consult portion of my job takes almost as long sometimes as it does to paint.

this is the last set of nesting tables I have and scrubbed waiting for color decision.
