    Garage light to turn on when doors open

    Painting over varnished cladding inside

    On reflection my use of the word dry should not have been included. I have touched the paint and it is fine, so I could quite easily paint over it now, but will leave it until the weekend. It is still quite a strong smell... for gloss work I have switch over more recently to the water...
