With another good night behind us we tackled the large dresser that Kelli had sold off plan.
The customer wanted it black ( there seems to be a trend for the dramatic colours) Kelli loaded up the spray gun and she was off. Once all the painting had been done it was down to me to put the wax oil on the top. There is a lot of physical effort in applying that finish. It has to be rubbed well into the grain, and then buffed to remove any surplus, it plays havoc with the fingers.
At least it was warmer than yesterday, so the door could be left open.
We have two pieces that will leave us tomorrow and one in the truck to get out and start on.
The issue of the laptop was playing on my mind, but rather than to jump and go crazy, I will wait.
I have another laptop back at the cottage that I will bring over, that has the same software, that might be the best solution.
Another Lifetime to go
