Footstep 49: Painting the Square Foot Gardens: Primer 201

Yay!  In the Turning post, I described putting on the primer under coat, being half bitumen, half water.  I have now added the first coat of proper primer, being pure bitumen.  This coat would normally dry overnight.  I understand that we are in for some rain, so the second coat will go on once the boxes have dried after this bout of rain.  No piccies, as the boxes look pretty much the same as they did in the final photo of the Turning post, except that they are a bit darker, and the coat is a bit smoother.  I still had to fill in some of the holes where the shutterply has splintered a bit from the drilling, but those are in the base, not around the corner posts.
