Norman Verona Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 The weather forecast was for a nice rain free day. Picture showed a sun with little white fluffy clouds. Ah, how sweet. Was out this morning so this afternoon took the kitchen to lounge door off and outside to sand down prior to a coat of varnish. Got on well and was just doing the metal strap hinges with a wire brush in a drill when....... It rains, hard and wet!!! So, I get the electric tools in, then bring the door in, getting soaked for my troubles. The sky is dark cloud as far as I can see (which is a long way). Get the door hung and come in here to catch up on the gossip. I just looked up and....... The suns shining and no rain. I've got one strap hinge to finish off and then varnish. I'll do that with the door on its hinges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 OK, all done. Hinge strap wire brushed and both treated with anti-rust. Then the wood coated with clear varnish. Looks OK, all old and beaten up. Door doesn't look bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 I've returned all tnhe tools I no longer need to where they're stored 3 times now. But they just keep coming back. I'm painting today and, if it stops raining later I'll have another clean up and return the unwanted tools. HM's complaining about the mess. I was tempted to clean everything up and say that's it, job finished. Eggs and omelette's came to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7sRWild Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Big cleanup again today, my girl has all her family coming over today and they are staying the night. Got to be clean for the family you know.....managed to get out in the car last night for a sunset blast, was brilliant. Got a bottle of 20 year old port I'm opening tonight, might go for a quick blat first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
