So, it was nice down at the farm yesterday. I actually got rather hot. I am waiting for our new Swienty Breeze suits. I hope they will be as cool as they promise!
Today was paint the new Maisemore nucs day........
1. It was fffffreezing in the garden today though.
2. Despite following all the instructions TO THE LETTER.....my new Ryobi One+ airless sprayer is not helping at all! I actually had to choose between putting hours in, to get the much faster sprayer working, or just dump it and get the brushes out. I chose the brushes!
When I have some time spare I will have another go with the sprayer. Unfortunately, I have no time for 'shirkers' at the moment.![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
3. Maisemore nucs are a little bit more delicate than BS ones. I encountered trouble when moving them about to paint them. I actually caused damage to the 'frame rails' three times. They are so very thin and 'friable' that if weight is put on them they just crumble. Not that important? I think it could be. BS moulded rails are far thicker and I get the impression are moulded to a higher pressure maybe. I'm not a poly-scientist though!
