First things first

The list for today was simple. paint two old cupboards to hang on the walls in the kitchen. We had everything we needed…except the table I wanted to paint on had the old kitchen wall units perched on it, and was stored in the very messy barn. First things first, we needed to clear the space in the barn to store them better. We are reluctant to take the old ones to the decheterie (tip) as we may put them up in the pool room. So we tidied some garden waste, ready to go to the tip, moved the cabinets to the back of the barn and found a good sized area to get on with the job.

My one was just a case of rubbing down and painting. Brian needed to fix some damage to the other one before painting

I will put up a picture of this mend once it’s finished, but this is how it started out.
