Well I'm happy to report that despite hanging out my laundry, it did not rain yesterday and so we were able to get a coat of the cream paint on everything and the blue first coat too. Steve found that by adding up to 20% water into the cream paint it goes on thinner but also stipples less leaving a smoother and more glossy finish. So I think for the second coat he may well go for thinner again, although it does have a tendency to run and is a bit of a pain. I think he likes it shinier.
I got some pics but now I've misplaced my camera again.
Chris is working today. The rest of the family are heading to Chemainus to help do some work for our friends Todd and Deanna. Then off to the Airport to get our friend who is coming for a visit. Another long and busy day. Typical really for a Saturday. I want to get to the farmers market for a few minutes also before they are sold out of bangers and cream cheese.
If you can spare the money, why not consider donating to our campaign. We'd really appreciate anything you can give. Just click on the widget below. And Thanks! We've raised $85 so far...only $4000 to go and we still have 30 days! If you have any ideas how we can get the word out please let us know. If everyone we knew donated $5 we'd be laughing! But you know what? We are just grateful to have you as our friends!
We had a dream, like so many others before us, to live a simple and sustainable life on our own organic farm... so we drove from Vancouver Island, British Columbia to the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia, and we've been here nearly 6 years. We love life, learning, and sharing with others. Follow our adventures as we build a vibrant small family farm and work towards self-sufficiency using a combination of traditional methods, permaculture and original ideas.
