:lol: Actually I was playing with the one outside. Did you send Duke past to check on me!

Actually I just came in to see if Ira had any smarta$$ advice for me and to re-read the instructions.

1. Double check for any screw ups - done
2. Fix screw ups - done
3. Sand with 40 grit sand paper - done
4. Fix hole in roof for using 40 grit sand paper in my DA sander - done
5. Continue sanding sticking the sanding disk to my hand - done
6. Blow off and sweep garage - done
7. Wipe down with xylene...look at the pretty bird and could someone remind me to spray for bats!
8. Come in and see if Ira has any smart a$$ advice for me - done
9. Go mix Durabak and roll on - not done

Well here I go....nobody try and stop me...I am serious now... :thinking: I wonder if there is some thing in the frig to eat?

10. Go make a sandwich! Then proceed to 9.!

Anyone else having a hard time typing? I will say it gave me a better buzz than the frame paint I used the other day! :?

Alot darker than I wanted, but with the diamond plate for trim...I think it will look good.

This stuff is easy to work with. One gallon covered the whole thing and I wasn't being stingy with it. I could of gotten away with 2 gallons I think? :thinking:
