Yesterday i painted our small wood burner black which we had used over the winter as it had gone a rusty colour.Today looking at the design i thought how hard would it be to paint a few leaves and grapes.So i started …….. Not one leaf they kept growing as i kept painting.Everywhere i looked another leaf appeared.So eventually got through the leaves and then it was grapes time……Yep didnt have the colour had to go to b and q.Thats why i wish i never started it.A hour job turned into half a day lol BBFB :)))))

You're welcome Mark... can you still use this to burn wood? What I mean is will the paint stay on?... :o)

being as we only live a few miles apart how come you have had a nice day, bitterly cold here, very windy, rain all morning, a heavy hailstorm early afternoon, heating on full blast,

Very posh Mark, that will make a nice feature in the garden come summer.

Looks fab Mark, I have one here that could do with a coat of paint. Let me know what paint you used if it is OK when lit.
