We needed to get back to the furniture business, the turf laying was a distraction but there was a garage full of pieces that needed working on.
I had been scratching around on a dresser removing the paint, but it was a sunny day so we decided to get the spray gun out and blitz a couple of dressers.
We started on the drawers, Kelli mixed the paint, I taped up the sides to avoid the overspray. Everything was connected up, the trigger was pressed, but no paint came out, plenty of air but no liquid.
I took the gun apart and cleaned it again just in case there was any clag left in it, but it appeared okay. Tried it again, still no paint.
Now it was resorting to YouTube to see what we were missing. Getting on to the manufacturer’s videos we finally found the possible answer to the problem. A tiny air hole was blocked, this stopped the jug from being pressurised. Once that was cleaned out it was like a new sprayer.
Kelli finished all the painting really quickly which was just as well because of all the faffing around we did trying to get the system to work. So two dressers and twelve drawers had been primed, ready for the top coats.
We did have someone interested in the off-cuts of the turf, so I stacked them on the drive, but he ducked out, typical, even free stuff is too much for some people.
