There's been a few FBG social walks in the mornings over the past few weeks. I've not been on any, as getting up at 6.30 to go walking just doesn't float my boat.
BUT... I said to several girls on New Year's Eve that I would go on one IF they turned up at my house at 7 am!
So the tarts are.... today! Like in 30 minutes to be exact.
So I'm up. Putting me clothes and walking shoes on and I'm going bloody walking!
I am not a morning person (Like Lacy, only without the scowl), but I really need to get back into the walking. So, I'm heading off shortly. It's a 5 km walk, so not too arduous.
Once home again, I will be watching Steve make the door. Exciting!
He thinks it won't take too much time, but lets see. I think it will take longer than he expects.
Either way, he's not leaving till it's made and hung! *smiles*
After it's all done I get to paint everything: the wood the track is on, and the door. Trying to decide if I will go with plain white, stripes ... or go for some sort of paint effect.
Dumm dee doo..... catch ya later.
ONWARD...
THE DOOR: From start to finish...
Now I need to find a black rusticated bar-type door handle. And paint the door.
PAINT IT... guess how I'm gunna do that???
WAIT. AND. SEE!
I think I am going to surprise most of you with how I'm going to paint my door! But ... you will have to wait to see it.. .there's a bit of work to do before I get to it.
Time to sign off for the day, I'm tired and it's hot and sticky. So draining!
I have put on 3 kg too 😢

ReplyDeleteYou are a bit clever Steve... I'll certainly keep you in mind if I need an expert job done!!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had put a barn door on our loo now, it would have been hard getting the hardware around here thought.
