paint prep work

We're in Palacios today, getting the boat ready to paint inside. Tom finished the sanding. Are now cleaning out the large amount of paint chips, dust, dead bugs, pieces of stuff that has been sitting at the bottom of lockers for years. We filled a bucket with dust & stuff. It's now dark and the worthless Walmart battery has died after only a month, so we have no lights. No lights means the workday's over so we're off to Port Lavaca to visit our least favorite big box and exchange the worthless battery for one that works, hopefully.

Tomorrow we will be cleaning some more, as always there is more to do than it first appeared. One area, the settee, is finished so we can sleep there. The new cushions look nice (at least what we could see in the fading light). Serendipity Wifi is working much better this time so I can post some more tomorrow.
