Looks like you're on the down hill slide to paint now, Jeremy. That should be good for some motivation. Especially since mud is a whole lot easier to sand than 'glass.

You should be cruising by spring time!

I have incredible news! I am switching shops - I was just hired by Alternative Restoration (just around the corner from my house).

Byron, I can't thank you enough for hiring me!

You guys have to check out his work...absolutely incredible craftsmanship...and I'm going to be apprenticing there, getting my ticket!

WoW, Congrats Jeremy, You are one talented and lucky person. Looking at their web site and seeing some of their builds, WOW is really all I can say. What a great opportunity. With the skills you have, you will just add to their team of skilled craftsmen.

Good luck and seek of some photo's of their awesome builds from time to time.

You have no idea how excited I am about all of this. This is a dream come true for me! I can't wait to start learning at Byron's shop!
