Insomnia sucks. But sometimes its got its uses.
Awake and up by 05.00 and cats fed plus forums read by 06.00 the next thing was to go to the garage and kill some time as I had an ultrasound appointment at 10.00 in Dartford.
A few weeks ago when painting Katy's sheds she decided to throw out her Gas BBQ as it was grubby. Yes....... I did ask.
Anyway, she bought a new one at Wilko for £70.00 and had her dad assemble it.
I dismantled the old one and kept the frame.
So this morning as I had a couple of hours to kill before heading out, I thought that adding some solid oak floorboards Mickey had dropped off months ago to the top of it would make a neat side table.
Used the shortest piece at 700mm as guide.
Used a rubbish bin for radiusing.
Cut some corners.
Sanded it all and smoothed the edges.
Happy??
Not quite........
Wood needed some treatment on top and below.
Second coat later when dry.
I trust she will be happy to use the scrap.
Shed time when I get back home.
Well, Edit
Now sporting three coats on top and the sides and two below.
Good enough for the patio I guess.
