Another day, another few feet of wooden siding stripped, sanded, and primed. I keep telling myself this has got to be the last time we will have a car that has to be completely stripped down to bare wood and repainted. First there was the 309, which I joined when it was already partly done, then the 321, then the 308, and now the 36. 
Furniture restoring shops will sometimes have a large vat full of paint remover into which furniture can be dipped, greatly speeding up the process. I have not yet figured out a feasible way to scale this idea up.
I finished stripping four sectors of the letterboard and upper siding (19-22), then sanded it all down and applied first primer. I then went back and started doing a complete job on the window sections, as seen here. This part is the most challenging; there's less square footage, but lots of angles and corners. Much of it must be sanded by hand. Thursdays tend to be lightly attended. The usual suspects were seen lurking about: Rod, Tim (of course), Buzz, Max, and Roger. And me. Nick seemed to be AWOL -- be on the lookout!
