Back on her feet! More blocking and more sanding, whee! The black stuff is guide coat. Or as I call it, THE TRUTH. There's no hiding from THE TRUTH.

My 'hours worked' chart passed 150 hours. I have had some help with the sanding so the 2x hours really add up. If I was paying someone say $40/hr (haha, no one would touch a bus up here for that much), I have already saved $6000(!) Another 100 or so hours and I should be driving??? :)

Just going to push through and hope it gets finished before I get burned out.

Thank you! It's the positive comments that keep me going. I like to log on and see the progress and the nice remarks, it makes it worthwhile at the end of the day when I'm covered in metal shaving, sanding dust and who knows what else ;)
