Not enough hours in the days lately.

Where are we today ?

Plattsville Ontario.

        Started my day with my usual early (7 am) walkabout town, chat with the guys at the garage for a bit then back home to take Suzie to visit her mom in New Hamburg. Then over to her Dad's workshop to sand our  new cabinet and apply the first coat of Satin Varathane.
         Then pick up Suzie at 11:30 and back home for lunch. After lunch I hopped on the mower and proceeded to mow the 5 acres of lawn here. Man it is growing fast ! 3 hours today so not done until 4 pm. Relax a bit with Suzie for a 30 minute "Happy 1/2 Hour" and whip up supper.

looking nice again

         Tonight grilled salmon burgers and our salad. Very tasty, healthy and quick.

did the trick

        Right after supper back to the shop to sand the first coat of Varathane and apply some filler to the nail holes and a few minor imperfections. Three pics below of Suzie's Dad's new workshop he set up at her brother's after moving things from the house this past April. Very nice !

       The 2 pics below are the parts of our new cupboard in the process of me finishing. Apply a coat of Varathane then wait. Apply some filler  then wait, sand a bit and apply another coat of Varathane and wait. Can't rush these things but the end result will be exactly what we want. Getting anxious but need to take the time.

cup board and doors drying

           All of our interior woodwork in the coach is a light oak, so thats what this project is made of. Made a couple things a few years ago for our coach and found that using an oil based  Professional Varathane ends up with a perfect match after a few months, no staining required. This product I use on purpose because it yellows with age blending in perfectly with the rest of the woodwork here. I found that out years ago, building bathroom and kitchen cupboards, as well as refinishing many old pieces of furniture over time. I also made all the wood trim in that house as well out of pine as I renovated and used the same product, with excellent results.

           Finally back home shortly after 7:30, to relax outside for a few minutes but found out it has cooled down to about 60f (15c) from the afternoon temps about 82f (27c). So guess we will retire inside and relax for a bit and maybe even enjoy our big screen tv for a bit too.
         Thanks for stopping in again and hope your day was a great one too!
