Cameleon house

As some of the paint was flaking and being generally scruffy I decided to change colours from classic ginger bread house to more modest and subdued colours. This is how it went.

First I brushed all loose material and dust away. Then a hard work out using a steel brush making sure all flaking old paint was coming off.

After a white base coat on all surfaces the inner frame got two layers of blue paint. This procedure was repeated for the grey outer frame. A bit different from before, eh? The full front will be revealed a bit later.

Oily business

My garden table is getting a big deal of rain nowadays, not so during July. I just had to put some oil to it so it will not rot away before my eyes. In a day or two it will have absorbed most of the oil and will be ready for more meals in the garden.
