PAINT CREW

A quick visit for Kath and me to try to pull things together.  We had hoped leave the place closed up and finished.  Reality intervened.  Less done than we'd hoped... and more added to the punchlist.  Time mostly painting walls a basic white to brighten things.  Slow going and not very elegant over exposed nails and framing and electrical systems.  Staying true to that (unfinished) cottage motif.  Systems like boat, water, solar, screens, septic, ATV, and electrical all worked well.  Palm rats and mosquitoes were not in evidence, perhaps blindness on our part.  Neighbors, house, island feels comfortable, more and more like ours. 

New cups worked great- keeps the drinks colder longer and don't sweat- thank you Brad and Barb!

Morning shower.  Note railing/clothesline holding up well.

Slopping the paint.  Not pretty but brightens the place up.  Basically 3 days of painting sun-up to sun down.

Well... with a little break.  Western tip of Mingo Island which is just west of Lovango.  Yellow canvas was repurposed flotsam.

The ever-present, ever shifting, never ending punchlist as we left it.
