But especially for you, camping in the wet is just no good!<BR/>Our shutters looked really good after we sanded the old paint off, with that distressed look. But that wouldn't have kept the weather out ;))Lis of the Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01298005506332989095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32765588.post-52398243533867399842007-08-09T10:01:00.000+02:002007-08-09T10:01:00.000+02:00As usual, I'm a bit late to the party here. Lis, I...As usual, I'm a bit late to the party here. Lis, I agree, the weather has been atrocious - I'm praying it picks up as we have (yet another) camping trip planned.<BR/><BR/>You sound like a true DIY expert. I didn't sand our shutters at all -just painted over the cracked, old coat. And that's probably why they have a rather 'distressed' look now!<BR/><BR/>Mya xMyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106690738320651376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32765588.post-57813700898592564032007-08-06T17:59:00.000+02:002007-08-06T17:59:00.000+02:00I know, 50 stinking euros for a measely tin of pai...I know, 50 stinking euros for a measely tin of paint, just basic exterior paint!<BR/>Princesse & Sugar, the being pathetic trick is very cunning indeed. Because even when the man is onto your cunning plan, he still ends up doing the stuff because you won't do it properly ;)<BR/>DIY is supremely satisfying, Zhu. Except I only like painting and tiling and banging nails into the wall. Have Hubby to do the rest.<BR/>Miss D it *is* exciting. Make sure he lets you choose all the colour schemes ;) I am not pink because I lathered my painting arms with sunblock to not burn. Cunning, once again :)Lis of the Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01298005506332989095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32765588.post-52173262318760231182007-08-06T12:45:00.000+02:002007-08-06T12:45:00.000+02:00Jez and I are going to live in a house together an...Jez and I are going to live in a house together and decorate it together one day, it's so exciting!<BR/>Are you a pink little Lis now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32765588.post-48733221230478962922007-08-06T05:35:00.000+02:002007-08-06T05:35:00.000+02:0050 euro for a can of paint ???
