My new toy (tool)
The Detail Sander
Every August it’s the same old thing: The porch railing needs a touch up painting. This job has traditionally been designated as all mine. This year I am sanding and repainting thoroughly because we are about to have the house sided and I want the porch railing to look neat and fresh too.
After struggling with a larger and bulkier electric sander I had an epiphany. Shouldn’t there be an type of sander that gets into those little nooks and crannies? So I sent Chris to the hardware store and this is what he bought me!
Cool tool! Bet it’ll come in handy again.

Funny how I can look at something like that sander and all of a sudden absolutely need it.

I can’t wait to figure out what I should sand next! (I’m so easily amused)

Duh! So sorry.
I used ours on some yard ornaments that are metal and repainted them.
