Coat 4 or was it 5??? I cant remember now hahaha.
A bit of yellow sandstone cement colour solved my problem about what colour to paint it.

I stopped adding up what it cost a loooong time ago. :shock:
It would be cheaper to fly me to the USA for a few weeks so I could build them for you there rather than shipping them out from Australia. But my wife wouldn't be very happy about leaving her and the kids at home alone :lol: :lol: :lol: So you would have to put the whole family up for a few weeks at least hehehehe.
Thanks for the kind words guys.
Should be making a bit more progress this week. Mod Podge sealing starts tonight.
