Time to put the woodshed back up. I built a new 4X8 floor from pallet wood earlier in the week, but couldn’t put up the hoop until Landlady came back with the fencepost driver.
I made some improvements in this one. A better floor. Those half-walls will aid greatly in stacking, and they let me raise the hoop so I can stand upright inside. The low roof on the old one was a colossal pain.
That went well enough, but then it was time to display my tactical error. I bought a new tarp – even a fairly good one is good for three years tops – but wanted to do something about that bright eye-catching white. So I hit it with a couple of cans of red primer … which didn’t stick at all. It flakes off at every excuse. Now that it’s tied down, I’ll try to fix it. Without getting overspray all over my nice new cabin walls.
Sheesh. Next I’ll be covering the chair with plastic. Knitting a little cozy for the spare TP roll. One with a kitty face.
Seriously, it’s annoying. The old one looked just fine against the old Lair walls. This is a better one – and I don’t like it because it’s not “pretty.”
Pretty? Oh Joel… if that was a different color, it would look like camo… Buy a can each of OD green and desert tan paint and go with the flow. 🙂 The red wouldn’t fit into your color scheme, no matter how well it stuck to the tarp. 🙂
To do camo to match the Lair, try dipping a brush into the cans of leftover Lair paint then sort of “throwing” the paint off the brush onto the tarp. May not look camo-ish. Might look artsy fartsy. Then glue a few of those pretty doiles all over it. ;-}
Cover the tarp with a camo net. That will hide the “ugly” tarp at the same time that it makes it last longer by shading it.
I’ll put a TP cozy in with the Welcome mat so you won’t have to knit that. You can crochet doilies instead. Like ML I don’t get how bright red paint is any less eye catching than bright white. Camo net would look lots better than flaking red.
You’ll be crocheting doilies next, in tactical colour of course 🙂
