Too long
Oct 18, 2006 Home Improvement
Too much time has past since my last post. I don’t know why. I’ve been busy making stuff or at least busy starting projects. My current work-in-progress is refinishing some old chairs. (I don’t have pictures today. You’ll have to use your imagination.) About eight years ago, my grandma gave me three chairs and a table. They were covered in lime green paint. This was all before lime green was trendy.
I decided to strip off the paint. I had to strip the paint regardless of the color. there were too many layers of paint. I managed to strip the table and two chairs. I painted the table. It is now our printer/paper stand, very functional. For various reason, I never got around to painting the two chairs. Instead I’ve just been using them.
I decide that I needed to finish old unfinished projects. I’ve been feeling the imperfections with wood putty and sanding the rough stops. One chair is ready to be primed. By the end of week I want have the second chair to be ready. I’m out of town this week. This means, I’ll have a lot to do this week. I’m up to the challenge.
I think if I stay on task with the priming, I’ll be able to prime next week. Oh, I need the progress. I’ve even add the goals to my side bar. I need to decide how many months of goals I should keep on my side bar. A question for another day.
