Next will be to put some finish on the counter tops.

That would look pretty good with some doors on it. :W

Spreadsheet update tonight hits a milestone. We finally crossed over the 10K bridge.

The gallon was an additional $137.19 off of Amazon. The quart of black was an additional $40.26.

Our prior total was $9872.50. Adding the gallon brings us up to $10,009.69. Bridge, crossed.

Adding the quart of black top coat, and we now have $10,049.95.

Hey, it's all downhill from here! Lol.

He also brought me a quart of Black Top Coat of Por 15. I want to play around with this a little bit. We'll see how it works out.

Evidently, it could have been packed a little better. I will say, there were no leaks, so that's a plus.

Delivery man showed up today. Brought me a gallon of Clear Por 15.

Here is my last can of Lacquer, and as you can see, there is very little left in it. It has way less than 1/4 of a can left.

That means, the 3 coats on the wall, and 3 coats on both sets of shelving, including the face fronts, used nearly 4 quarts of Lacquer.

Another exciting day of watching Lacquer dry! Wahoo! Lol.

I used a small paint roller pan to hold my Lacquer in, to use with the rollers I have. I did however, add some aluminum foil in the pan to hold the Lacquer, so I did not have to replace the pan every time I used it. Works like a champ.

I also removed all my "stuff" from the shelves on the drivers side so I could start putting the first coat of Lacquer on that side.

Here is the fruit of that labor.







So far, I have used roughly about 2-3/4 quarts of Lacquer. I think I'll have enough to finish these shelves, but if I want to use it on other things inside, I'll probably have to purchase more. Yay. Lol...

I put another good coat of Lacquer on the shelves on the passenger side today. I think I'll probably leave the shelves alone, but I might put another coat on the face frames. I'll have to look at them in the daylight, and see if they need any sanding to remove any potential rough/dust areas on them.

Either way, that will be an easy job, rather than trying to coat all of the shelves, especially underneath.
