2001 Monolith build

[alan molstad]

Due to the rain that is about to hit here soon, I decided the best use of my time would be to use a bit of drywall patch and fill-in any holes and scratches so that later they can be sanded down smooth.

with this done, I took this last photo and then covered the monolith under a tarp.

This might be the last Im going to see the monolith for a few days...

It was 43 here in midday today. About 20 degrees below average for our town. The chances of frost tonight are very high. Spring is postponed until further notice.

The rained stopped for a few hours, and so I went out to check on the tarp over the monolith.
and it has a hole in the tarp i did not see.
and the whole monolith is wet!

so rather than being able to sand everything, I can not sand anything.

Back to square 1

i took the tarp off and push the pools of water off the monolith.
There will be no sun today...so i doubt anything will be dry enough later to deal with.

But I will check in 2 hours...

sanding is finished ...
Now to risk mixing the epoxy?

No guts, no glory!
i decided that no matter the forecast, I want to get the first coat of epoxy on the monolith today!
