Slowly managing to effect a change in colour for the man-cave, from 'Rich Oak' to black. I thought/hoped it'd be one coat and done, but ohhhh no 
. Still, I'm getting there 
The door's had 2 x coats, the rest of the front elevation only the 1 but I got tired....
The other end elevation has 1 on it too, so as the forecast's good for the next few days there'll be time to get it done while dry.

Very nice setup,Slowly managing to effect a change in colour for the man-cave, from 'Rich Oak' to black. I thought/hoped it'd be one coat and done, but ohhhh no
and I wish our place was that neat and tidy. It reminded me that I promised to do some cleanup work in our back yard. But when I'm done, I can have a brew. 
As to one-coat coverage paint, I sometimes think it was invented by a marketing person who merely changed the label on the paint tins and upped the price tag.

Not much, but I did have fun, when I was left alone
They stunk , they are seized and they were destined to be converted into modern desk art.
Dismantling was fun, now power tools. No heat. The fat did burn.
Don't ask.
A week in caustic to remove the embedded fat.
Paint and bling.
To find out the lady wanted them as desk art has pulled out.
Naughty words. In a shouty voice.
It was early, I was awake. I had had coffee, home made bread.
So lets have a look.
New mantle, new pump washer and a repair to the non return valve showed it worked.
A friend has asked me to fix this, but leave the aged looked.
Wax and oil.
Do not oil the jet tube.
No really don't.
All done, with a happy friend.
Re made the pre heater as well, old dressing gown cord recycled into a wick.

Seeing as the doc is a veritable genius, probably something extremely complex and amazing!
