Cheeried – is that a word?

Wednesday – straight after breakfast of scrambled eggs on toast I got on with painting the shutters. Brian decided rather than put the second set back up without painting them, as other things had taken up the time we had allocated for them, we should push to get them completed anyway. I think the thought of having to put them back up and then take them down again in the spring spurred him on. His aim was to get the second pair sanded today. We were both feeling the pain of another day painting, but cheeried each other to keep going.

I managed to finish getting three coats onto one of the shutters, and two coats onto the second. So very nearly there on one set.

I have put a coat of Dulux aquatech on one of the second pair, just waiting for Brian to complete the sanding on the other one. We are hoping it will stay dry enough tomorrow to do that.
