Of course, out in the world, it means big protests for what a horrible country we are and how we are fundamentally racist. Back in my world, I wonder why so many people risk everything they have to try and sneak in to such a horrible, racist, unfair place.
Enough of politics because that is not what this is about.
It's about sanding! Shortly I will be heading for "The Depot" to rent a floor sander. The objective is to gently sand the front porch and coarsely sand the TV Room. Down to the bare wood, as it were. And we want to do it in 24 hours.
The sander costs $65.00 a day plus several sheets of sand paper at about eight bucks a sheet.
First, I must make a comment concerning a new discovery Susan made last night. We have a skunk that lives under the garage. She has been there for quite some time and not really caused us much trouble. I can confidently use "she" as her personal pronoun, because the one has become six. I'm one of those people who claims that only "she's" can have babies.
There I go getting political again.
The little skunkettes are adorable. They follow Mom around and wrestle and play, all the while looking for a tasty mouse.
We saw them last night about 8:30. There was still enough light to see them easily but late enough where they decided to venture out.
7:26PM: Whew! What a day. We are both beat. But we sure were productive.
We started with the front porch because we are just giving it a buff. We're painting the same color so it doesn't need to go down to the wood. Thanks God!
The TV Room took almost five hours and there is still some work to do around the edges.
It's really tough work moving that sander around. It naturally wants to move to the right so when you want to move left, it's quite a chore. My shoulders are really sore.
I did a pretty good job of getting it down to bare wood. I need to do a little additional hand sanding on a few spots and around the edges.
Tomorrow's another day and we have plenty to do.
