Paint the wall

Early in the morn, we went to buy extra brushes as Hubs house only have left over paints, and no brushes. We reached as promised time, 9.30am. Look at the condition of the gate wall.Mr Sun is out but still chatting with Mr Cloud. So excitedly we planned out what to do first. As this is our first time, we left out several equipment. We totally forgot that we need the stuff to removed the oil paint on the wall before we can coat the new one on. Luckily they staff at the center managed to find one for us.

The two colors of the wall. This must be the work of a newer coat of paint on the further left compare to the right side.

There is two side of gate wall. We didn't manage to get volunteer this time. So we resort to work on the smaller piece first.

After scrapping off the older coat, we gave it a coat of paint first. Then let it dry first before coating it seond time. See the difference on the left and right side? Now it looked much better.

By the time we started on the second coating, Mr Sun was excited as well and kept on paying us a visit. The staff there was so nice to serve us ICED Ribena. Oh so cool and refreshing. They sure know how to make us happy. We ran out of paint in the middle of painting. So Hubs drove
out to buy more....and a bigger brush and a roller. While he was away, I tried to get some work done on the inside wall but Mr Sun just would leave me alone. I couldn't stand the heat and felt slight dizzy. I went under the shades to wait for him, while curi tulang...hehehe...

Hubby behind bars.

The hardest part has to be the bars. It's cylindrical and so hand has to go around it. Not to mention it's smooth surface doesn't help.

At last our masterpiece make us proud.
Well, this is not the end yet. This is only one side of the wall, a smaller side. The next mission is to coat the bigger piece, which is almost thrice of this size. Hopefully we will have good volunteers and can complete it within a shorter period. This wall took us 4 hours to beautify it. Our reward from the center was a taste of their lunch spaghetti.
