I had just one chore yesterday. Elegante Mother bought bench a number of years ago. I thought it would look lovely, silvering out in the garden. SHE thought it needed a coat of polyurethane. She coated it, and it spent a summer in the garden,and then was moved down to the basement for the winter.
\nI got a look at that bench last year, and it looked as though mildew was growing in or under the polyurethane, and I decided that I would sand the bench. I asked a friend how to go about the sanding and he wrote a treatise on wood care for me. Dear Husband thought we might get away with the hand sander and a 60 grit sand paper.
\nI started the project a month ago. On my friend’s advice, I didn’t try to do the entire project in one day. I worked for an hour or so, and set the bench aside. A few days later I had another hour, and worked on it some more. It’s been like that through out the month.
\nSo, we get to yesterday of the beautiful weather, and I resumed my sanding. Unfortunately, I forgot that I wasn’t supposed to sand for hours! lol I can still feel the vibrations in my hands. The bench is not done, but it’s much closer to being done. I’m going to have to finish the dowels on the back, and the sides of the seat boards by hand, but the project is looking much better.
\nWhen a friend gives you good advice, PAY ATTENTION! *G*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
