It was a long, long, llllllloooonnnngggggggg day. Bright and early this morning we got up and started taping off railings for the big paint job. 2 rolls of tape later and only 3 rails done, I stepped out to go to lunch with all of the girls from the office. Lance broke for lunch and ran an errand....sneaky guy....I was hoping that I wouldn't have to come back and tape. Silly me! Back I came and picked up where we left off...tape...paper....tape....paper. I went to doc visit and Lance went to pick up more tape. No, really, more tape. So now we are 4 rolls into taping....big rolls....but we are getting close. Hey, it's only about 8:30 pm so we broke for dinner, cooled off and relaxed for about an hour. Now it was time to do quality control check on all of our work - the more time you spend on taping, the less you care about how well you covered :) We fixed a few "oversights" and got out the cans. Dupli-Color Olympic White. Ahhhhh, it just sounds bright and clean :) It took about an hour and a half (maybe more) and 9 cans to cover just one coat on all of the panels. WHEW! It was about 11pm when we finally got the garage aired out enough to close it down for the night. We have to find more cans of paint since we used all we had so that sounds like a morning project to me!! I outta here!! P.S. - There is an ugly rumor going around that tomorrow might be carpet installation day. Not sure since we didn't actually finish painting today but for sure on Saturday. Then we can install rails and I might be able to give you an idea of what this boat is really going to look like!!!
