Wooden repaints
All of these projects are repaints. Both the chicken and the birdhouse are outside all year long. I took the birdhouse and made it able to withstand the wintertime in Germany. Paula then repainted the house and I added many coats of clear coat. The wooden chicken was really in bad shape after having been outside for about 4 years. Paula repainted the chicken and I added about 10 coats of clear coat. After this treatment, both pieces can withstand the elements for about 5 years. It is always good to lightly sand then add another clear coat after about 2 years.
Birdhouse was built by my father and painted by Paula.
Wooden chicken had been hanging outside for years...
Paula and I repainted the piece to make it more weather resistant
This lighthouse was bought at a flea market, the original paint was in bad shape.
