RH33 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 My garden here is north facing. Doesn’t bother me. Kids swing set in one bit grass and trampoline will on on other. In the flat we rented before we had south garden which got the sun from 11 until sundown. Was great of getting washing dried! Was nice sit out with the neighbours but do like having own garden here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Strumming or finger picking? What are you playing anyway? You inspired me last night and I started learning Nirvana's About a Girl. I'm shite at barre chords but Kurt used some very simple ones even a sausage-fingered gimp like me can manage them. I was never much for showing off and playing lead so mostly strumming.A lot of what I used to play was blues, R&B (old school like Otis, Sam &Dave etc) and some rock so been revisited that.Also raised the action on my old electric (bought 2nd hand in ‘82 so no idea how old it is now) and been reteaching myself slide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason last tenants painted them, pain in the arse need painted every year then flake off. Can you not just sand them down then use seal it before staining? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two birds with one stone, result!How does the seal stuff work? They're stone steps and the paint flakes off after the winter. One thing I've learned about painting is, dont paint decking or stone work unless you need to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I building a shelf for my kitchen out of old wood that’s been sat in the shed for about 20 year judging by how much I’m having to sand it to get it coming up clean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not srip the paint off the steps and leave at that or do they look horrible due to past abuse? (I must admit I'm against painted stone steps at doorways) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
