I don't fix anything around my home or vehicles to look really nice, because somebody is just going to mark it/break it/scratch it for you. I bought a new car in '16, and it had $1100 worth of body damage on it (by parties unknown) before it even got it's first oil change.  I keep thinking about selling it and buying an old pickup with a crap paint job and chunks of rail road track for bumpers. Run into this, *****!  |
thank you! kinda proud of it, even got a nod from Joesjunk when I drove it up to his place to visit..
I hear ya, just can't have nice things anymore, not out in public anyways
I actually chose pine because it was original style and chose the finish coatings for durability..
well, short of trying to be sloppy, it just turned out like that as a by-product of putting it together properly
the finish coats were also applied for durability and as a result, look pretty decent
it is going to be tough to initiate the bed again, but I suspect it wasn't much different when they were newly painted from factory
we'll see how it looks when I go back to the farm next visit..
