Baa Baa Black Shed

Today it has rained, and rained and rained - to the the extent that the Settle-Carlisle line was closed for some hours this morning because of flooding and landslips at Taitlands tunnel and at Smardale.

In the dry because of the generous overhang to the shed roof I was able to crack on with finishing the northern wall's door and woodwork (top left).   Three walls done, just one to go.   The intense black colour on the north wall is Manor's acrylic  barn-black primer.   I have done both sets of garage doors with this splendid stuff - water based and quick drying.   Just for now the north side looks v-e-r-y black - but not for long as I shall be painting the workshop doors in LMS Burgundy and the garage doors in the colours of the water tank and water crane.   This should make it look a little less like a row of identical garages.

As mentioned in earlier posts, Manor Coating Systems have donated a large amount of paint to the project in general and to this phase in particular.   The Manor banner on the station driveway credits Manor's generous help in kind.
