june 1-3, trim and doors

friday, june 1
J--- headed down ahead of me to pickup clear pine for the trimwork, mouldings, door & window frames. Spent the night, maybe our last, at the Best Western Eastern in Exmore. It's getting harder to get a room with summer traffic picking up. We'll be staying at the house Saturday night because the hotel is filled. Dinner at the fabulous El Maguey.

saturday, june 2
J--- starting installing the doors, and cutting & building window frames. I started painting the trim pieces. First primer coat, Kilz, then sanding, then two coats of ultra-bright semigloss white. Plugged in my Ipod shuffle so I could listen to tunes while I painted. Makes a tedious job go faster.

J--- remembered about the showers at the Bay Creek marina, so we headed over there to see if we could clean up. We were both hot & sweaty. Glorious showers! Slate floors, walls, & ceilings. Lots of hot water. Dinner at Venetto's & then a walk on the bay for sunset. Home to sleep.

sunday, june 3
wrap up, tidy up, take pictures of progress, & back on the road
