I'm in a race with the clock... We have granite for our grill cabinet scheduled for install on the 25th (next Monday), and I haven't yet finished the cabinet. So I'm working as hard as I can to get that thing done. Currently I'm installing the cedar “skin”, which I should finish in a few hours. Then I'll be sanding that skin, installing some corner trim pieces (tricky because they need to be glued to the four outside corners), sanding them, and then I'm ready for painting. I'm using marine spar varnish – really tough stuff – and that's oil-based. That means I have to wait a day between coats, so I'll have lots of time to blog while I'm waiting for each coat to dry. You'll see my trip posts appearing then...
