[QUOTE="vinito, post: 96081, member: 12954"] When I first bought this thing, I also assumed having it blasted and repainting was a long way off. It'd definitely for the feint of heart. But the difficult, tortuous part is over I think (hope). It was blasted on Thursday morning, then I guess they got tied up doing other stuff (the boss's personal stuff I think) and it sat through friday and this weekend. I hope efforts resume Monday morning. At any rate, I imagine that it will be painted and ready to bring home next weekend. In the meantime, there are a dozen (or maybe a dozen dozen?) smaller projects the machine needs done anyway so it doesn't really slow down anything at all. It's just a slight delay of that “ahh” feeling of seeing it painted which is not a big deal. Tazza, I'm almost fully expecting that as clumsy as I can be, the machine will quite possibly get that first deep scratch or two even before it's put back together, hehe. Is there a such thing as pre-christening? And what is culturally fitting for the christening of a skidsteer anyway. Champagne definitely doesn't fit. Maybe just a 40 of malt liquor? [/QUOTE]
