Well, my least favorite part of any project is the prep work. Since "they" say that's the most important step, I suppose I'd better find a way to enjoy that aspect. Maybe I can combine meditation with sanding and priming? Probably not....
It was so nice out that I did do most of the work on our deck, though I know I can't finish the paint coats out there - too many butterflies and floating pine needles to risk ruining the final coat. I'm curious as to whether this new primer will hold up to heavily used dining room chairs. It's called Glidden Gripper and was recommended on Remodeling for Geeks (a very helpful site, by the way). Bob Vila likes it too, and who doesn't trust Bob Vila?
My husband brought the chairs in for me before dinner, and now they sit waiting for me in the dining room. After reading Kristin's post on My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia today about foam rollers giving a smooth finish, I realize I'll have to make a trip to Home Depot tomorrow before I can start the actual painting. Fortunately, I love any chance to wander around home stores and discover new projects. I just have to discipline myself not to start another one before I've finished this one!
Hi Karen
ReplyDeleteGood job of the chairs so far. Cant wait to see the finished result. I purchased a small roller brush yesterday after reading Kristins post also, so cant wait to try it out on my many awaiting pieces. Have a great week.
