So I pulled my paintbrush out and started. The inside received Two coats a first coat covered the bottom and back. Paining a box has to be done in stages as you have to sit it on one face.

The painting happens outside and since I did this in the evening I decided to leave it out to dry. No chance of rain tonight.

In the morning, “Oh b****r, it rained.”.
