Base Coat on Walls ....

Messing around on the Ride-on Mower obviously with blades disengaged!
Vrooooooom!!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Just 6 more years before I can drive!!
Base Coat Painted on Walls
We all know what a coat of paint will do to brighten things up!



We've decided to try the Dulux "Antique White USA" that everyone brags about. If we like it in the Shed, then we may use it in the new House. 
We're also leaning towards "Whisper White". 
Will upload photos when we've painted two coats in a few weeks.
