Thanks very much Simon, it really seems like the seasons have shifted this year. Three mornings running I’ve come back from checking the stock with an armful of field mushrooms, and it’s supposed to be mid summer! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I’m an early riser Jack, it’s been a pig of a day here, so after going round the stock I thought I could have a few hours in my shed. Got it built and sprayed by dinner time, then after dinner the paint had dried so I could spend a couple of hours finishing it off and weathering it👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain why everything was drying with a flat finish yesterday while trying to paint in the constant rain. Unfortunately I wasn't looking for the weathered effect. Will give it another coat now the suns out. Loving the Econ setup and as usual the outside shots set everything off beautifully 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
