Managed to find a free moment to add the dark ebony stain to all four ash table legs yesterday. I applied it pretty thickly with a sponge brush, but it went on evenly, and I think it will look ok. The wood itself was not the best. Has a fair few knots, and some cracks I had to glue & clamp. Some of which held up, and others failed. On the plus side the stain was not bothered by the glue residue. Score one for me! I just want to hide the legs as much as possible. I’m looking for a sturdier surface to play on, not a gorgeous finished product. I still have a few steps to go, but I should be done this coming week. Yeah!
In other news I have pulled a muscle in my lower abdomen coughing in the night. That sucks. It hurts a bit. Feels like I tried to do five hundred sit ups while I should have been sleeping. But only on my right side. Strange. I remember pulling a muscle in my belly from throwing up, that was a decade ago. Also turned out to be EBV, so I’d love to not experience that again. What a shite three months that was. No thanks, I’ll pass.
Taken the oldest child to an outdoor laser tag combat party today. Looks awesome. I never did stuff like that as a kid. We didn’t really have it as an option as far as I know. When I did do paintball I kicked ass, and had a blast doing it on the company dime. Too rich for my blood. The paintballs alone are fairly cost prohibitive. Let us see what laser combat costs. Maybe we’ll add it to the list of potential fun family outings.
Happy Sunday!
