It went from pouring rain here to sunny, back to blustery. Very odd weather!

Teigr

I think we have rain forecast for this evening @Sandy_123,I've ordered Mr Teigr to crack on with cleaning the deck before it starts.

Sandy_123

It don't look too bad at the moment @Teigr he might get a few hours at it. I've not been out yet but I'm only popping to the shop

Teigr

It's clouded over here @Sandy_123 ,but he's about halfway through it now.

What a mess.

Sandy_123

Be better when it's done @Teigr

I need some motivation today hope you feel better soon @talis

Teigr

It'll need staining next @Sandy_123 ,I was going to do it last year but the weather turned before I got around to it.

Sandy_123

Its a bit risky getting it dry before the rain @Teigr unless it drys quick

Teigr

We haven't bought what we need to stain it yet @Sandy_123,we don't want to use the stuff we used last time because it's rubbish.

Expensive rubbish.

Sandy_123

Its hard getting the right stuff I have that problem buying gloss at the moment @Teigr every time I spot one the reviews are rubbish , maybe b&q

Teigr

I hate using gloss paint @Sandy_123,our carpenter recommended one when he replaced parts of our staircase.It's okay,but not the miracle product he made it out to be and it's useless for painting anything outdoors.

Sandy_123

Yeah it's hard to choose a proper one but got to get 1soon. Wilko paint was good but they've gone now

whilst on the subject of paint, has anyone used chalk paint? need to do the upstairs doors 😊

Teigr

Yeah,I always want something hard wearing and quick drying.

Low odour is a plus too.

Sandy_123

I didn't think you could use chalk paint on wood only for up cycling @nicebrit

Nicebrit

I'm going to buy a tester pot if they sell them. I don't like working with Gloss or satin, I'm not buying it yet, but I will do some research beforehand 😊

Sandy_123

Yeah see how it goes let us know

Teigr

I used chalk type furniture paint on the attic stairs @Nicebrit and went over it with a matt varnish.

Hey everyone I hope yous are all having a nice night I just popped in to say hello.
I noticed yous are speaking about paint when my son in law done my painting last month he sd I was best to buy one he’d used a few times and because my paint work was really dirty due to the carryon with the loft.
It can be used on the walls ceilings and woodwork. It done an amazing job.
