I'm beginning to have considerable sympathy for the people that have to paint the Forth Bridge!

Today, I went to the Brico to get another tin of paint. All the important top surfaces are done so it's the verticals now.
Couldn't find the colour I used. Asked the girl on the desk. She smiled sweetly and said "oh dear, didn't they tell you? That was the last tin of that and we won't be restocking it"
My gears started grinding as did my teeth
It's a good job this is for the greenhouse and not something in the house. Several different shades are not a great problem. There are lots of greens to choose from.
Picked the nearest and the dear girl rang up the till. The old paint was 33€. The lesser quality crap that I had to buy was 48€.
My gears are going to start stripping soon.
