No snow yet Jas its actually been a really nice week sunshine and 60's and 70 perfect for painting or as good as it gets here anyway. Im hoping the paint dried enough to spray the sides today.

I got one side done and made it this far on the first batch of paint took less than a quart total and about the same for the bottom. I did have a few small runs trying to spray the bottom side of that center rubrail but was able to brush em out.Spray gun and recipe Woodonglass gave me worked beautiful. 2 cups paint , 1/4 cup mineral spirits, 1/4 cup penetrol, and 2 tbsp hardener . I used the magic hardener we will see how tough it is when I flip it back over

Nice job, yoop. Those aren't dents and dings, they're hard earned battle scars.

It's a tad early for Halloween, but you've got an early start on the decorating w/ the elliptical crop circle in the yard...........
