I think I've done more sanding this past week than I have the last six months ;) I didn't keep track, but I think I've been sanding for 26 hours this past week. Twenty-six freaking hours!

And now a bit of annoying news that might force me to stop working on the deck. The owner of the yard is no longer answering his phone. Weeks ago I was supposed to be moved into their workshop. I've now got a feeling that's not going to happen. Why is that a big deal? Because it's starting to get cold over here. Too cold to work with epoxy. One of the awesome things about the workshop is that I'd be able to heat it just enough that I could keep working for another few weeks. 

If I'm not moved into the workshop, then my plan is to fair as much of the deck as a can and then paint all of the deck (to protect it from the sun's pesky UV light) no matter if I'm done fairing or not. Then come next summer I'll have to sand away most of that paint, but at least the deck will be protected until then. 

At least I get a nice little break from sanding in 23 days when I go to visit my girlfriend :D

We're keeping our fingers crossed you'll be able to stay indoors during the winter. It will make your life sooo much easier. The deck is looking absolutely beautiful!

Don't forget your Los Angeles fans when you come out here to visit! You should do a meet up while you are here so we can say hello. If you want help planning something let me know.

I would love to do a meet up 😊 I'll check my schedule to see if I can find some time. If I can do you know of a place where all of us could hang out for a few hours? 😊
