11/5/2023 0 Comments Im tired of this grandpa catI was getting worried your train was due hours ago. The gators walked out of the station and took a shuttle to the resort. The three kittens walked up to Uncle Stu and rubbed against him, purring. Never dawned on him that you might be dangerous.ĭude Cat: Grandpa, I told you. Said that he didn’t think anyone would bother them if they were with an alligator. My goofy son says that he did ask you to watch his kittens. Grandpa Cat: I guess I owe you an apology. The cat handed the phone back to the Security Dog. Grandpa Cat: Let me talk to him….Rufus, it’s your father…Yes, they appear to be fine…that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard…he’s an alligator…yes, I suppose that’s true…all right…Happy Easter to you too…love you. He says that he asked the alligator to watch the kittens on the trip. They don’t appear to be frightened…All right, I’ll let you talk to him.ĭog: I got your son’s phone number from the kittens’ carrier. The Security Dog came back, talking on his phone.ĭog: Yes, sir. That’s barbaric.ĭude Cat: He was protecting us, Grandpa. If he wanted to eat them, he could have done that back in Florida. Stan: I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get mixed up with a bunch of cats. He’s a predator, and he needs to be locked up. Grandpa Cat: There’s no such thing as a nice gator. He was going to made a snack out of our kittens.ĭude Cat: Grandpa, Uncle Stu wouldn’t hurt us. Grandpa Cat: I demand that you arrest this filthy reptile. You can read Part 1 here and Part 2 here. Uncle Stu is being detained at the train station after being accused of catnapping three kittens (Muffin, Zelda, and Dude Cat) on the trip from Florida (stopping in South Carolina to pick up Stan and his family). I hope this helps and would love to see the final result.Where we are: Granny Gator is hosting the family Easter at South Padre Island, Texas. I would choose waterproofing finish for any piece that potentially will be near food or drinks. Then, evenly apply finish in several coats, letting dry between each coat. You'll want to sand enough to get the top layer of paint off to show the primer underneath but not so much to get to the naked wood. Once it is completely dry but only if you want to have the Vintage look, sand the "wear and tear" edges of the piece: usually sharp edges of the top or the corners of the top/drawers - the places that have been rubbed up against through the "years of owning this piece of furniture" (which you are trying to emulate). Then paint with the chalk color: at least two coats, with letting it dry between each coat. Spray the entire piece with primer: at least two coats to get an even base, and letting it fully dry before going to the next coat. Once the paint becomes tacky, then the only way to get rid of these is to resand and repaint that spot (which is a pain). If these do form, use a small paintbrush or a clean sponge to even these out as soon as you make them. Important! Remember to keep moving when using spray paint or you will get unwanted and ugly "noses" in the paint as it drips. This will give the look of "shabby" when you sand it, letting the alleged "old paint" peek through.Īt the hardware or paint store (I'd go to a paint store if that's an option because there are usually more choices), you will want to get several cans of spray primer, several cans of final color or chalk color paint, several cans of spray finish, and 240-grit sandpaper. If your final color of chalk paint is a ligher color or white, use a dark primer if the final color is dark, use a light primer. If you choose the Vintage look, you'll want to get Chalk Paint for the final look, and depending on the shade of the final color you want, you'll use a different color primer. For the solid look, you should choose a white primer. Since the furniture has moulding, you will have to use a spray primer to get the color even.ĭecide whether you want a Vintage look or a solid matte or glossy look. To repaint it, you will have to use a base primer. You can stain it a darker color if the wood had been stained before, but painted before - it will always have some residual color that will corrupt the stain. Getting the original wood to look "good as new" is impossible. Still, assuming you've done that, the old wood will have absorbed the color from before anyway. You said you used paint stripper, but did you use it liberally and apply with a sponge/foam brush? The stripper has to be put on liberally to allow the chemical to penetrate the varnish and several layers of that resilient stuff. The problem with older painted furniture is that the paint that they used in the "old days" was often oil- or lead-based, and super sticky/resilient, so getting the old stuff off is really difficult.
