SEALER TODAY

 

We are looking forward to a cooler day again today.  Probably get some rain too.  I just hope it blows over by tomorrow.

ABOVE:  I went into the sewing room last night just after 8 pm.  I wasn't planning on doing another runner.  But I did.

It's got a couple of fabrics in it that I don't usually put in the Kiwiana Braid Runners, but I think it came out rather nice, though it hasn't photographed that well.

Now that's done I can concentrate on painting today.

First up is getting the Pigmented Sealer on the walls and new gib board.  

Because that stinky stuff doesn't take that long to dry, I might even get a first coat of the actual paint on the walls too.

Let's see how it goes shall we?

BACK LATER...

FIRST UP:  If you are having trouble leaving a comment, try leaving a REPLY on the bottom of someone else's comment.  That seems to work for like, Ky Girl.  And Ky Girl, stop apologising for doing that.  If it works, it works and no one minds.

Next.  I've got all the pigmented sealer on the bathroom walls.  What a shit job. NOT that it's hard to do, it's just the smell and the clean up after.  It has to be cleaned up in Mineral Turps, so right now that is my 'perfume'.  Yeah, not exactly my chosen smell.  

Now I have to wait at least 3 hours until I can put the 1st coat of paint on.  This is going to work out really well, cos it will have all of tomorrow to dry completely, in readiness for the 2nd and final coat.

So now I'm twiddling me thumbs.  Might even go out for lunch, what ya say Stewie?

ABOVE:  Stew liked my idea of lunch out, so off we went.  We had a wander around The Base before settling on lunch at The Foundation.  We had not been there in about 8 months.  It had gone through a refurbishment and looked very nice.

ABOVE:  Our lunch companions.  So cute.

ABOVE: We shared some Calamari.  It was delicious.

ABOVE: Then our Foundry Burger came out. OMG.  Seriously HUGE.  Of course, we won't be having any dinner now.

It was an amazing burger. What I loved the most was they didn't ruin it with friggin lettuce!  I hate having to fish it out so the burgers guts doesn't slip and slide all over the place. lol

After lunch we came home for a quiet few hours.

3.32 pm:  Because it is very, very humid today, the bathroom isn't drying as fast as I expected.  I think I will be painting this evening instead of now.

Stew went out and bought a cooked chook and fresh buns, so we can take a 'picnic' to market tomorrow.  Nice.

8.46 pm:  I got the first coat of paint on the walls late this afternoon.  The top half of all the walls will be WHITE.  That is what I got done today.

Tomorrow afternoon I will put the 2nd coat of white on.  Then on to the bottom half.  A contrasting colour. And I'm not telling you what that colour is... but 99.9% of you will guess.  

And that is me for the day.  We will be going to bed reasonably early tonight, we have to get up early tomorrow.
