This week we start grinding new paint. We also take a router into the fiberglass between the new coach house and the roof. It was depressing and scared me, but it is amazing how experience allows us the delusion of confidence.
Confidence for grinding new paint
2 years ago I NEVER would have done something like this. Before we put the boat in the yard, I was afraid of this kind of work. I considered this for 30 minutes and the next day had the sander and router out against it. Away we go, grinding the new paint job. You can even hear my neighbor asking if I “lost my ever loving mind“. He honestly raises a fairly valid question. 🙂
