In fact I'm sanding between coats of paint too, really want a nice finish on this :0)<br /><br />Hi Jonna, its a very nice quality kit and yes I think it is very heavy, It needed two of us to lift the box onto the table ! <br />Once its in built I dont plan on moving it much !<br />julie xxxjulie campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902081962358238140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115922857692314288.post-70539231675203276952009-12-30T08:08:46.310-08:002009-12-30T08:08:46.310-08:00I love the front!!

I would have warned you if I'd known better. Looking good so far! ;o))<br />Michelle xxMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844807744316681870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115922857692314288.post-30234296510116752422009-12-30T04:18:59.822-08:002009-12-30T04:18:59.822-08:00Yep...sand, seal, prime, paint.
