TOTAL COST=£18 (STILL HAVE 1/2 MY MATERIALS LEFT AT LEAST FROM DOING IT UP) :j:T:j AND THE TWO CHAIRS THAT WERE PINE ARE ALSO BEING SANDED DOWN AND REPAINTED ATM. You can't see the damage on the chairs nor the table (didn't put that pic on here as ds2 is in it anyway lol he wouldn't move) but there was marks and names carved all over it and also the dog (i assume?) had chewed/scratched two legs. Also the chairs and table were different colours and the table extends...i don't think they'd ever used the middle bit as apart from the dirt ingrained it was a beautiful lovely oak colour and they'd forgotten to stain that when they'd obviously decided to change it to this orangey colour you can see from the chairs in the pic :T The colour I chose is light oak and actually looks orangey on here but isn't in RL
All sanded down and fixed now and I love it :A Mortgage Overpayments 2024/25 - September-December, £152.46. J- £103.27, F- £115, M- £91.50, A- £100, M- £200, J- £200. J- £200. A-£200, S- £221.34. O-£200EF- £642.41/500

Thank you ds1 did a lot of the sanding. Didn't even need to ask. Got out the sander and he was there like a shot! Clearly a DIY'er at heart if power tools are involved :rotfl: I did the painting though i'm very particular about drips :eek: and like a smooth finish :rotfl: Mortgage Overpayments 2024/25 - September-December, £152.46.
