Indy 500 today but all the cars look the same unlike the creations that came from the 50s and 60s

surprisingly it was less agile and quick on curvy tracks - apparently the wheels/tyres tended to overheat

first time one of these has been. in front of my face. looked very special and nice which is unusual for a mega-dollar low volume pen!s extension.
would still have one in the euromillions scenario.
Zenvo for certain, model type less sure TZR-S?

First shutter back on going to be a few hours graft but very satisfying.
Provence blue is the colour.

I will have a count up tomorrow but we have 5 bedrooms it will keep me busy for sure.

At least they are not slatted, that’s an awful job…I know, I’ve got 13 pairs of them...Cudos for restoring them to former (colour) glory! I like the bare wood for the windows, also a lot easier to maintain. Did you oil them? We have a product called Woodoc here that works well, it’s not a varnish as that tends to flake off after some years in the heat /wet

Just had a count up 10 windows although 9 are bigger than the first one u started.
French doors full length 3 doors and one going into the loft space.
I should put this on the losing weight and getting fit thread as it's going to do me some good

Not sure what it is on the window frames but most in great condition saved by the shutters.
I think they were painted and something on top making them look natural.
Being a mechanic house maintenance isn't my expertise but I'm enjoying restoring this property as i can take as much time as i like no pressure from Ms French too.

Got my favorite Rock music going so I'm in mine own little World and I'm too tight to pay for what I can do myself.
The workshop concrete floor a different matter as that has to be perfect.

For outdoor wood painting, I find a high volume low velocity sprayer a good life hack. Especially for slatted fences. Just make sure that you put something behind to prevent over spray. I believe a member on here had a neighbour who resprayed a fence and the members car.

 

[philw696]

Certainly going to be spraying the second coat of emulsion in the workshop but only when the concrete floor is down.
