Paint round 3

Having spent the best part of 2 days of a 3-day bank holiday weekend on the cabinet, it was a bit much to hope for some Monday action, what with a house to run and my wife to hang out with.

However, as luck would have it, Helen and Ben were coming to dinner and Jenny asked them to come early so she could spend an hour measuring and fitting the clothes she is making and altering for Helen.

Ben and I retired to the garden to chew the fat with a pair of half-litre Sam Smith's organic lagers. I got a good hour of mucky brush-work in while Ben stood back to avoid getting paint on his evening shirt.

The aim here was to cover all the corners and tricky bits so that I can then roller the larger surfaces. I managed to get most of the way through it before the ladies rang the dinner bell.

These are the shots I managed to get after another glass or two of wine.
