The dayshade lives!

[melaniesuzanne]

Hubbyfink and I erected the dayshade behind the neighbor's house (the land is slightly flatter) this morning so we (meaning he) could spray the shade down with Canvak. I snapped photos before the spraying began.

	Dayshade front, 6/13/09. The design on the valance is composed of two stencils: the blue curliques and the gold medallions. The curlique stencil has lotus flowers as well, but I taped over them.
	Dayshade side, 6/13/09. The poles in front are 7' and the poles in back are 6.5'. With ropes, the shade's footprint is approx 16'x16'.
	Dayshade rear, 6/13/09.

We also worked on the clothing rack by cutting down the uprights and rod to the correct lengths and staining the rod. I need to look for the appropriately sized bit to make the holes for the rod, make those holes, give everything a good sanding and then stain the uprights. At this rate, the only Pennsic project left will be painting the pavilion. Oof.

Thanks! I'm excited about repaying the kindness of so many who have let me mooch off their shade. :)

I can so understand that! One day I'll have one too. Well, I've got one -- but it's not period ....
