Because he loves me.
Or maybe because he doesn’t want to hear me bitch…

My husband rented a deck sander for a few hours and went to town on the barn porch.
.

.
In the rain.
.

Granted it wasn’t the best weather for sanding, but I wasn’t going to complain.

He thought it might make a difference and help the boards he replaced blend a little better with the existing planks.
It didn’t, but it certainly smoothed things out and prepared the surface for sealant.
I admit I was a little surprised to walk inside the barn and find a previously unknown dining table being used as a work top.
.

.
Clearly someone had been to the recycle center without me.
🥴
.

.
I also found this.
.

.
Shame it was in such bad shape.

.
A 1969 Yellow Submarine, complete with pop up Beatles.
.

.
Ringo.
.

.
And a very unhappy John.
.
That’s a very cool find.

Wow! The decking looks ok, I guess …. But the Yellow Submarine! 😲
I had a similar (UK) die cast metal model when I was a kid. But as with my Curry Cherry Bang Bang, Green Hornet limo and Batmobile, my parents slung them out when I became ‘too old for them!’
(Heck – I was only twenty- three when I moved out to get married!!!)

Not sure what happened to mine…

I’m anxious to see how this looks when it’s finished. I have some places that need repairs and have put off the patching because of the color difference.

Replacing rotted wood and patching is necessary, but it’s rarely pretty. At this point I’m just hoping for not awful.

And of course it has to be right out on the edge in a prominent place. Same here…any boo boos have (It’s apparently a rule) to be made in the most conspicuous place.

That is just about the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! That would make a perfect addition to our rock ‘n roll collection.

It’s not in great shape, but let me see if I can swipe it without him noticing.
This may take a while…

The fact that he tried to hide it in the barn isn’t lost on me.
