Back in March or April, I knew there was a lot of sanding on the schedule. The box store had limited grits and quantities, so I ordered a box of 80 and a box of 220 from a local power tool supply and repair shop. I made the order before I started on the porch roof project, because I knew the grits required would overlap. I got a call that part of the order was in a couple weeks later - the 220 grit. That's the second step naturally, so I said "call me when the 80 grit is in!". A few weeks later, I get another call, this time the order is in for sure. I go back, there's one box. It's the 220 grit still, no 80 grit to be found. I muddle through the porch ceiling with some 60 grit (luckily I ended up using deck stain, so the finish wasn't required to be as nice). I completed that, and last weekend I used up the last of the 60 grit sanding some of the tough spots on the hull. So here I am out of sandpaper again!
Yesterday I placed an order with an online firm for the 80 grit sandpaper, with any luck it'll be here next week. More sanding pictures to follow!
