Burnout is a bone-tired,
soul-tired,
heart-tired,
kind of exhaustion.
...
I feel like this brown squirrel…tired. And notice its long tail (not my Stumpy).
I am so tired even my tiredness is tired. I needed 12 hours of sleep last night, thus my late posting.
I received a wooden queen bed frame from my neighbor who was giving it away for free. We wanted to get a queen bed for our guest room so it was perfect. I decided to paint it a lighter color to go with the beach theme of the room.
Years ago, I had great success with spray paint so I thought it would be a breeze...NOT! They have changed the codes and pigment to our paint in California yet again and the project was a fail. The primer dripped and was a gritty texture. The paint color was splotchy so I had to change my game plan.
Then, I decided to try Fusion Mineral Paint. It has been OK (learn as I go) but it has required a minimum 4 coats of paint (I chose a light color) to cover the dark wood, 2 coats of clear top coat, plus a coat of wax to give a smooth finish. It isn't perfect and after 2 weeks, I have finally finished the footboard. So, now on to the headboard and side rails. If I ever finish, I might take a pic of the finished project set up in the guest room. It also takes 30 days to cure and for me to recover. :)
I like your shot of the squirrel. I'm sorry this DIY project wasn't as easy as it should have been. Almost worth spending a few days with the bedstead across the state lines.
A great shot of this squirrel all splayed out! And wow, what a huge headache your painting project has turned into. I hope it works out in the end, whenever the end is. Hugs! and Fav!
Hope your project finally turns out the way you want it!

Hope you have more energy again soon too. You will need some time to recover from your latest project by the sound of it.
