With enormous effort we turned the dining table over. Now it was ready for the final stage of the finish, the polishing.
Armed with a pad of steel wool and some beeswax I set about getting the mirror like surface that the table deserves.
The hours of endless sanding, coating and re-coating have come to an end.
Working on the legs have left my fingers sore and aching, it will take a while for those to heal.
The temperature today was at its highest so far at about 85 degrees.
We have our walk around the garden looking at the new blooms before breakfast, with Kelli getting excited at every new arrival.
We had a trip to the post office, we had some presents to send back to the UK. This was the first time I realised how expensive it was. Although the stamps are cheap, they make it up on the parcels.
After handing over the last of my dollar bills we headed off to Lowes to try to get some cedar border edging to match what we already have, but we were out of luck on that.
Although the website showed a small quantity in stock the reality had nowt.
Instead we got four bags of mulch and some drawer components for a new project.
During the evening Kelli had a crazy idea to get an inflatable pool so she could bask in the hot sun. She then went to Amazon and ordered one, I can now expect “is it here yet?” for the next few days.
