Three hours sanding this afternoon. That's best part of 5 in total. Probably half way there. Why do I gave such big frames ? :facepalm:

Three more hours done.

It looks er, interesting..............

About an hour to go then wait until mrs HM is out to spray lacquer it.

You know when they say use plastikote in a well ventilated area, I'm sure this wasn't what they had in mind.

Hence blurry photo

I love orange peel!

If we say nothing do you think she'll know?

Well if you can't find something offensive you're really not looking hard enough..

Eight coats of paint, twelve hours of sanding, a can of plastikote and zero expenditure other than paint and paper.

I hope you appreciate the effort. :mrgreen:

I think it looks cool.

It's a real gate though, how tall are you exactly?
