Pretty exciting to get it painted! You have quite the attraction for kids, coming round to check out your ‘jumping house’ Les |

I am really looking forward to watching this paint process. Like building an airplane, it seems like a huge task if I think of all the steps at once. |

Terry, I like the way you did your wing panels, I wish I had thought of that when I painted mine, I just laid them on saw horses would've been a lot easier to hang them. |

Pretty exciting. It’ll be fun putting it all together for good with a new paint job. We’re all waiting to see. Les |

Status Update. I haven't been able to get anymore painting done for a couple reasons. 1. mid December - torn achilles tendon...I'm 2 weeks past surgery and another 2 weeks to go before I can start physical therapy. A typical timeline for this recovery is 9-12 weeks. 2. Temperature- This is normally the coldest time of year on the Florida Gulf Coast. It'll be end of February before we get a weather window above 70 degrees for paint. So my recovery and weather should correspond at the same time. That gives me the last 2 weeks of March to get the Thorp reassembled and ready for Sun N Fun 2021! More photos as progress is made. |
