Most of the day was spent stripping, sanding, and painting another two sectors of the lower siding on the aisle side of the car. I wanted to do more, but the cord on our heat gun gave out, due to the constant use we've been putting it to, I suppose. They just don't make 'em like they used to.

And Frank needle-chipped one of the retrievers, and it was later painted with a first coat of brown primer, at the same time as the siding. And we looked at the underbody some more, and I checked what needs to be done on the roof.

Our friend Jeff Hakner was visiting from Branford, and Frank will have a much longer post on what he was doing.
