Feel your pain fella. I once refurbed 2 houses on Rutland water, needing to gloss every wood surface. At the height of summer, horseflies, midges, wasps, the whole bug kingdom it seemed were attracted to the smell.

The little ones are bad enough, but it's the bigger ones that are worst, the ones that manage crawl across the whole thing leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

I feel your pain too.

You go back and find a couple of legs stuck to your door and look around for a legless fly

The more coats the better the finish.

Not necessarily true, if you have prepared your surface well enough and are using quality products, then 1 coat should suffice

Fill the room with steam and the dust particles will plummet to the floor.

Loads of fixed furniture. Luckily I only started to get bored when I was just about done.
