Wow, what a difference! No one said it was going to be easy and yes it is rather hard! As of now we are in the works of completing the bottom painting. We're torn between staying with the red color or switching to blue. You wouldn't believe how expensive paint can be though! It is somewhere between $100.00 - $250.00 per gallon at this marina and our girl needs about 4 gallons. They don't allow paint to be brought in from outside unless you pay them about $60 per gallons to do so...Crappy right?! So what step are we at now? The very first one and that would be the sanding. Next to happen is the acid wash and then we can move onto the good stuff! Besides that she is looking good in all other areas and we have some potential buyers inquiring about our girl. So I would say that we are definitely moving in the right direction. Well until the next time my lovely Patrons! I know that some of you may be in the Hurricanes path so please stay safe and in good spirits as you get through this tough time! Love, The Geckos!
