Loving these videos mate, you’re a natural in front of a camera and present very well without fault which is really hard

i smile ( in a good way ) when i see these vids, basically doing everything that i couldn't/wouldn't attempt and obviously enjoying yourself in the process; The process being something that it's good to see evolve.
Hats off, far more patience than me!

Day 1 ( morning ), erect gazebo/marquee.
Day 1 ( mid morning ) brunch
Day 1 ( lunchtime) scratch head, run through mental checklist
Day 1 (early afternoon) - start spraying
Day 1 ( mid afternoon ) tell myself that i didn't like my marquee being white - blue is far better.
Day 1 ( late afternoon ) pat myself on the back after finishing, grab a beer.
Day 1 ( after a few beers ) - realize it looks crap, call a professional, vow never to try it again. Order new marquee cover (white). List spray equipment on ebay.

I will say this much Kev, I have learnt from others it is always a good idea to build some resilience into it, always have something in reserve incase progress slows up, so despite willing to have a laugh at my myself if it goes wrong I try to wait till a project has worked till I start to post it up :D

No sure I would call it painting, given my lack of talent but YES.
