44.) Making Predictions

.....is a questionable business, especially when they are about the future.  Which is why I should not have boasted in a recent post that I was going to be able to sand all the planks without burning through in any spots.  Wrong!

As it turned out, I burned through (or almost all of the way) in three different places.

So the past few days have been dedicated to repairs: removing a section of the plank with chisels, re-sanding and patching the surface, and then cutting out and epoxying a patch in place.  I've completed one, the largest of the three, with two still in progress.

I also am not fully finished sanding all of the interior planking. But I am not going to further jinx myself by saying there won't be any more instances of burn through.
