jacked


Using a combination of cinder blocks, wood blocks, car stands and a few choice words, Spartina is jacked up in the garage.  There are three support points, the forward-most seen above.  The trailer still sits a few inches beneath the trailer, but there is enough room that I can get a roller or at least a brush to the hull everywhere but beneath the wood blocks.  And those places can easily be done once she is back on the trailer.


Tomorrow appears to be the perfect day for painting with a high of 78 degrees, though some forecasts are calling for up to 82 degrees.  Lowest temperature will be sixty.  I hope to start mid-morning and be done by noon, leaving time for a Christmas dinner run to the butcher and Uncle Chuck the shellfish guy, and some NFL.  Just win, baby!
