I bought a wooden chaise lounge at Mike and Joni’s New Year’s Eve party last night. In Costa Rica the unusual is the usual.

Dave, a guy who Mike and Joni know, is a wood worker that I met on recommendation from a Facebook friend (I forget who.) We made the deal for him to build the chaise for us. Since he was gonna be at the party we agreed to do the deal and take delivery last night.

Waking up this morning, I thought I would start sanding and painting it.
In the Family Circus tradition, here is a graphic illustrating my attempt.

1. change clothes
2. fill dog water dish

12. Floatie pops, blow up replacement

Urge to paint gone. Chaise still needs painting.
