Thanks for looking in and your encouragement. I'm going to paint it Chris. Bought the paint a while back. It looked a bit 'iffy' when I was planking but I could not believe how well it turned out after sanding it down. I really surprised myself. Alan. Today is the tomorrow you wished for yesterday!
