Finally - the shutters

So we have been talking for the past couple of years about repainting the front shutters. Some of them are definitely in need. A couple of days ago I bought the paint. Yesterday I started scraping down the loose paint on one of them. Today I've been power sanding!!!!!! Yeh verily, hubbie showed me how to use the sander and wouldn't you know it it looks like there's 3 layers of paint to remove !!!!!! I'm trying to get this set done ASAP because we have some large hosta plants that grow up into the flower bed below the window. If you decide to tackle a project like this please remember to wear safety equipment i.e. proper clothing, goggles, mask AND ear protection.
