Phew... what a day!

Starting at 09:00, we sanded.... and sanded.... and sanded....

Finished sanding at 17:30.

Two and half hours of varnishing, and the first coat is on the toe rail.... Yah!

Couldn't take a photo as it was getting too dark!!

Will do so tomorrow.

Now I just need to hope it isn't too dewy tonight, and then that it dries in time for a second coat, as we are off home.

As previously, I suspect this first coat will be dissapointing as it is heavily thinned and just soaks in leaving a dull matt finish...

But its a start, and overall Phoenix looks a mile better than previously.
