Button Aviary Journey

[TeresaW]

I’m sorry! If it makes you feel any better I have knocked over an entire can of oil based paint on my mom’s living room floor (it did not come out)

This was on the basement linoleum floor, no dropcloth

No mop either, I’m completely exhausted. I got half of one coat completed, but I’m done for today.

So, in the middle of staining, I knocked over the can of stain.

Not as bad but I accidentally knocked over a bottle of masking fluid on the carpet on my dorm room carpet once and I couldn't get it all out. It was only a small bottle though.

One coat of this is disappointingly light.

I finished the first coat of stain, and I got both air purifiers set up.

Tomorrow I want to do two more coats and possibly work on repairing the screen door. Or I may work on finishing one of the smaller cages.

The 2nd coat of stain is looking really good, I might stop there. I've got the one side drying now.

I've been thinking of how to do the water system. I don't want any ugly piping. I'd love to have a flowing stream, LOL.

The butterfly net I got on Amazon:

The screen door insert that I’m going to repair to use as the aviary door:

It has a rip in the screen and the frame has become separated from itself in a couple areas.

On a side note, I need to get some flip-flops or something for my feet. I've noticed that when I walk on the mulch in my bare feet, even for a couple of seconds, my feet start to itch something terrible. It doesn't seem to bother my hands at all. Weird.

This is two coats:

I carried one of the boards upstairs and two coats will work just fine.
