Getting ready to paint

Well, at long last, here is the new frame built and the first of the tarps to be fitted to make a tent for painting.

Amazingly, Grant built this by himself. He is developing good leg muscles with dozens of trips up and down the ladders each day.

It is turning into a very  large spray booth.









The tricky bit at the end was to work out how to make access for the tractor from both sides while making the frame sturdy enough to stop the tarps flapping.









The solution came in making a sliding panel for a doorway. This is now pretty much done. The area needs to be heated by an electric heater of some sort. So far, there has been no luck in finding a suitable one. The paint needs 8 hours+ of 16 degrees and above to work and the weather is not giving us that just yet.
