Hello, friends. Well, this was the big painting week. Joseph's business partner took off time to be with family out of state, so as the weather was cooperative (mostly), he took this time to paint the bus. Before starting, he masked off all the areas that needed covering, created a plastic tent, then applied primer. I sanded the bus, then wiped it all down with a damp rag, with a little help from him in some of the highest spots. There were some wind gusts, quite a bit more than was forecasted, that tore off the plastic on three occasions, but he muddled through it all.
He then gave the skoolie two coats of Seaside Teal. She's not yellow anymore! We're discussing what detail we might want, and are both leaning towards a curved line somewhere. That can come in time, though, now that the main paint job is done. He also plans to give it a coat of clear sealer. It was an enormous amount of work for him, and something he hopes to never do again. I've been gathering a few more items, like dog beds, bathroom soap dispenser, and stair treads. There's still quite a bit to do, but this definitely feels like progress.
