Week 2 Day 1

I was psyched to get back in the Wood Shop after such a fun weekend with friends! Greg was psyched to see me, and I was psyched to get my hands dirty again! Greg showed me the thousands of spots I forgot to sand after I thought I was done. I spent around 3 hours just sanding. And waiting for my extra bottles of epoxy to arrive from Amazon. I used a rounder machine to make my outrails rounded. I spend another hour sanding. At around 1:30 I went over and grabbed my TotalBoat Ultra Penetrating epoxy. I mixed it up and started applying it everywhere. It made my whole boat darker and shiny. I used a roller to evenly apply it. It looks great, come see for yourself! I will hopefully have my boat painted and varnished by the end of the week! 

Thanks and stop by anytime!

BLUE Paint Layers ADDED

Today I woke up and ran to the boat shop to add another coat of paint. The boat has been looking so beautiful, and all the blemishes that I thought would show up have suddenly disappeared. The boat looks gorgeous and is almost pond ready. My disco ball has been blaring music and is a real lifesaver. Thank God, Mike Walsh, saved the day! I let the paint dry for a solid four hours, and came back to add another coat! At this point, I was around four coats in!

Disco ball day!

Today was the day I brought in my DISCO BALL! I decided to spice up my Boat Building life. Everyone loved my disco ball speaker. I blasted a bunch of tunes and sang out loud. It made the sanding process so much more fun. I spent the entire seven hours of my day sanding, sanding, sanding, sanding. Was it fun? I’d definitely say the sanding wasn’t. But the party was a blast. Lisa P came to check in on me, and so did Becky Walsh! Great friends to have visit! Hurricane by Luke Bryant was my favorite song of the day!

WEEK 2 SUMMARY

Image
  This week has been really fun. A lot of sanding, but it was really a great time.  The disco ball kept me going. I listen to a lot of reggae and country hits on my disco ball. I’ve been jamming to Greta Van Fleet as well and of course, Taylor Swift because everyone’s been talking about her concert. But my favorite song that has been getting me in the mood for woodworking is this song, dirt on my boots by Jon Pardi! Such a fun song. I also love it’s 5 o’clock somewhere. I’ve been coming in earlier to the boat shop which has been a great success and also makes me a lot less stressed! I would say the favorite part of my way was when my parents and sister came to surprise me at my dorm. They came for my last-ever Shabbat at Proctor. I almost cried when I opened the door. All my friends came to support me, including my bestie, Lisa P, who took me out to breakfast the following day! The whole week was such a blast. I’m glad I got to go home to see the funniest comedy show. Alex Ede...
