I just couldn’t decide what color to paint the frame when I found a can of white semi-gloss. I grabbed a 4″ foam roller and finally got this thing done.
But first, let’s review what this was meant to be. I have a cheap shelving unit on my Google Meat/Zoom wall that has a bunch of gnarly things on the shelves that I’d prefer hiding. I thought about making doors but I’ve been using a painting leaned against it for so long that I’m kind of used to just having something leaning up against it.
I was at the big orange box store and found a 24″x48″ chalkboard/whiteboard reversible panel for $6. I ripped 12″ off of one end and using a 12″x12″ scrap piece of a white shelf I had laying around made a 36″ square collage of the three parts.
I had some scrap lumber-grade 2″x2″s and routed a 1/4″ channel in them to use as a crude frame for it:
They needed to filled and sanded before I put it together. 
But I had some small batch, 9 yo bourbon instead. 
A couple of weeks later I had it put together. 
But then there was a big brush fire a block or two away. 
Fortunately our local FD are only about a mile down the road and they had it under control pretty quickly. 
A few days later I had all of the holes filled 
But then this view out the back door made me wonder just how long it’s been since I’ve had some braised rabbit with a morel cream sauce. 
A week later all the holes are filled and the panel’s are taped off. 1st coat is done. 
Unfortunately Tru Burger was running late with my to go order. Or maybe I forgot to call it in before I went there, whatever. 
The BLT, Green Chili burger and Parm frys took a while so I wasn’t able to do more than one coat that day. 
Another week and 3 coats later…
