A little warmer last night. I got a good start on the shoe rack. Yesterday, I finished the construction phase. Today, I applied the Varathane.
I have finished with the first coat of Varathane. It took quite a while. I started with the rack upside down. I applied it to the bottom of each shelf and both sides and both ends. It took a lot for the first coat.
While it was drying I dug more holes for the posts. I poured water in them last night and it was fairly easy digging, but hard to remove the soil when they were very deep. They needed to be two feet deep.
I then put on the first coat of Varathane. I painted the bottom of each shelve first. It took a lot more than the other coats took. I panted both ends and both sides. I turned the rack over and painted the top of each shelve.
I then drove to Fillmore for the posts. I was going to get three eight footers and three twelve footers. The twelve foots were not treated. I ended up getting six eight footers. I also got two bags of concrete mix. Shane carried out the two eighty pound bags.
The treated post and bags are in this photo.
I gave the rack and other coat of Varathane. When I brought it into house. It was still a little tacky. I put it in the closet where it will go. Carol will fill it with her shoes in the morning.
