13AUG2011 - Saturday Stripping


I made use of my open day and have finally finished stripping, sanding and staining two out of three old tables!! They are all old tables of my Mum's, they didn't look terrible but they could have looked better so at the beginning of the summer I decided it was time to refinish them. The first table was fairly easy and I had that done in July, but the second table proved very difficult! I'd already stripped it once, but I had to finish that today along with sanding and staining! I'm glad it's done, and the third table has a lot less detail so I'm hoping it'll be an easy one! I'm planning on at least removing the old varnish tomorrow, and if it proves easy then it requires some repairs before I can re-stain it! Watch out Bob Vila! In between stages, I took Oscar to the dog park... to enjoy the sunshine and clear my head. The picture is of these huge power lines running through the park in Langley... which is why there is a dog park there and not houses I suppose! Anyway, Oscar dearly loves going and I was missing him this week so we spent some quality time together! After the dog park, a lovely steak dinner cooked by ma mere and now a solo night at home.
