The arched top door Minster Oh sanding it all down
Here are some pictures of the sanding process before staining and finishing. I have a total of a day and a half wrapped up in just sanding. This is an important step to get the look and feel of the door just right, and alot of the finish look depends on how well the sanding is done. The first picture is a "before" picture, and then there are two "after" pictures (one of each side).
An easy way to determine if you are sanding everything to one level, is to make light pencil marks on the surface, and continue to sand them out until they come off evenly. It is a good and simple technique, although it takes longer with white oak because it is such a hard wood. I prefer Norton sandpaper over 3M - just seems to last a little longer...

Sanding Taping Painting
Hi there friends . . . well, heres what Connie and I have been up to.
Sanding, taping and painting on Gypsy Rose.
We are still planning on having her in the water,
sometime in June.
Check out these photos.
Here I am sanding the hull.
She needed it all over, deck, hull and bottom.
So far we have the deck and hull finished.
Heres Connie taping the the side.
but maybe you can tell,
that we are replacing the pink deck with a gray.
It has a green tint in it and I think in looks so much better.
We think that the pink color was a result
of the sun fading out a beige color.
Heres Connie painting the edge of the hull a deep gloss green.
Here I am laying in the hull paint.
Notice the reflection of the boat trailer.
It dried just as glossy.
Shes looking prettier with every job we check off our list.
Thank you for stopping by.
