Sanding – March 14 -- I have the afternoon off—Just finished the demo on a bathroom and the plumbers won’t be there until tomorrow for the tub install.  The boat seats are sanded with 150 grit, and I get to spend the afternoon masking.  Trying to decide whether to spray or brush the primer.  I have air right by the carport, and a spray gun. The plan is two coats of primer and two coats of finish.  A little flatner will go in the final coat.  Hoping for a finish somewhere between satin and matte.  What I really need is at least 50 degrees and 70% or less humidity. 

Ready to paint –It is Saturday, March 16, and I have the morning free.  Later today I will earthquake proof (resist) a grandfather clock for a blind client.  But—no painting, the temp is only 48 and the humidity is near 100.  And, the downspout is sending water under the house. So that needs to be dealt with too.  Some warm weather predicted for next weekend.  Fingers crossed.
