Next up is remodelling the new building in Alexandria. Got walls to tear out and display cases to build. Should be a few interesting weeks.

Took base and desk to Old South Antiques in Jacksonville, installed base on cabinet and left desk. So that’s done.

May not get installed today. 🙁

Lid – flat black. Contents of can – gloss gray. Only black I had is gloss. So base is now gloss black. No idea how long it’ll take to dry.

After spraying a bit noticed it looked weird, light, & glossy. Looked at the nozzle and it looked gray. Checked the can which said black.

Walmart strikes again! 🙁 Got the base painted except for a few light spots with 1 can of flat black. Opened the 2nd can to finish it off.

@MUSEmunkey The grocery stores here in the US do the same with coconuts! Guess it gives them a place to put the bar codes…

Sides & corner blocks cut to length. So humid I can only stay out for about 15 minutes at a time. Keep having to come mop the sweat off.

Had to come in to cool off and get the paint.

Desk leg support screwed, glued and drying. Long base pieces cut and front piece planned somewhat round on the ends. Getting closer…

Then take it to Old South in Jacksonville and put it on the cabinet. Also got the desk leg support cut to size. Now to screw and glue it.

Got the screw/glue blocks cut for the cabinet base I’m making. Now to trim the ends of the base pieces,put it together, and paint it.
