Day 4

By the time day 4 came around, I felt like I was beginning to get myself into a rhythm. Breakfast, Work, Lunch, Blog, Baseball.

I was back out working on my chairs this morning at 8:15. For the first 3 hours of my day I continued to chip away at the work that needed to be done. I spent those 3 hours brushing and polishing the chairs to continue the process in getting them ready for paint. As I mentioned yesterday in my blog, this process is to remove previous paint, and create a smooth surface for the paint to bond to.

Above is the surface before brushing and polishing, and to the left is after brushing and polishing.

Below is the tool I have been using for this process.

After a quick trip to the hardware store, I was back to work, brushing for another hour.




I have been making good progress so far, and soon I will be ready for paint and primer.

At the end of day 4, I had put in 4 hours of work.

This brings my total hours to 11.5

Completed:

1.  Started the process of polishing the chairs before primer and paint.

Tomorrows tasks (weather permitting):

1. Finish polishing second chair.

2. Beging preparation for primer.
