Glad I became a brickie rather than a painter then, I don't have the patience to count 400 drops of dye, I would have gotten bored after the first then tipped the bottle of dye in, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Even the dye needed mixing from a paste to a fluid!! It's a long story but one of the walls is lime plaster so cannot be painted with modern paints. so to make sure we get the same shade on all the walls, lime plaster and gypsum plaster we have had to use white paints and then dye them! Long winded! Excellent results thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first week I was shot blasting and spannering in the workshop, This week Tractor driving, Next week who knows?. But it is a total change from the last job as it comes with no stress.

CMB Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Digging holes for 7 birch trees and post holes for a fence that will surround them. Next door a big contracting company was bringing in late maize to the farm clamp, just out of camera range unfortunately but I got one pic leaving a muddy field when I rendezvous with the chap delivering my new tyres.
