So I was around my friend Chris house the other day and I was doing some work and using his stool and it was very useful, so time for me to have one. I utilised a foot stool and lengthened it, let the pictures tell the story.

Enjoying painting in the sun
I am finishing of our courtyard area and have been painting the final coats needed for the benches there. I have also started the third coat on the flower bench. This bench has already had two coats of the green and now gets its first coat of burgundy. I will give it a second coat […]
