House painting -pragmatism over perfection

After applying 140 litres of oil stain, we have finished oil-staining our house.

One of the quirks of oil-staining is that you don’t have much of a say in what the final colour will be.

We were advised not to paint the decks, otherwise you will have a job repainting them forever.

If you are a perfectionist, I guess there’s always a bit more to paint, or perhaps touch that up a bit better.

There’s a time to stop though, and say it’s good enough.

On to the next project…
