The polshing has begun!

And it is much easier than I thought it would be.

Hue Value Chroma

I painted this lamp today, and two others like it. All three of these lights were rusted and looking like crap. I was having difficulty matching the right color. Ace Hardware makes a rustoleum like product that can be tinted and matched to any chip, even one the size of a dime. So I used my handy Munsell Book to find the right color- with the help of my chips, I matched it perfectly at 2.5Y 8/2.

This picture shows a swatch of the paint, painted on the original color.

May smells good. Happy Spring!

I keep forgetting to post, but we have been busy. Recently we removed the old water tank. It was disconnected already, and hogging all of the space under the front gaucho. We may rebuild the water system with a new tank, but for now, it only has water if connected to a hose.

I sewed up some curtains yesterday. Rather than hunt for the original metal curtain guides, I used some old button. They work perfectly, and it was an easy fix.

Next we need to attach the astradome, repair the running lights, get the fridge running and repair the front reading lampshades. (and a million other things :-)
