Default Still sanding

85 and sunny in Georgia and I'm still sanding my CE for painting. Wish I had been more disciplined before the weather got so good and had it finished.

A little elbow grease always goes a long way.

I did a mind numbing amount of sanding. You will be glad you did.

Beautiful Douglas Georgia just down the road from that thriving metropolis of Broxton

Hey Charles. Found a new painter yet or is your original guy back? And Skip... I've seen Charles' home... let's just say he ain't roughing it out there in the sticks.

Stay on it... I've had life throw a curve or two lately as well.

Hey Mark, no I've not really looked for a new shop lately. I'm trying to prep it right and not screw it up by getting in a hurry. As you more experienced guys already know there is a big difference between doing it and doing it right. The other day I almost decided to carry it to a restoration shop and have someone else finish it but that's not the point of my having it. I truly needed to get away from my desk and get my hands dirty again. Sanding, sanding, and more sanding is mind numbing work but I'm enjoying every minute of it. I'm down to the detail work now so the end may be in sight. Hope your issues resolve themselves soon. Whatever it is remember it can be worse.

Hey Skip, aren't small towns in the South great? I go to the big cities and see the bright lights but small town Ga suits me fine. The older I get the better Ga gets. Headed to Saint Marys this morn for some Red fishing.
