I should do an update at John's site, but here's a quick teaser.
This is for Jake:
OK, see, it took me a whole day to do that! (I can see you shaking your head in disbelief! Stop it!)
There's another side just like it, and the back part looks like a desert.
See the vertical "stripes" on there?
That's what I'm calling the "lap" of the "lap 'n' gap" siding.
Even being primed, those things seem to drink up some paint.
Oh yeah, another thing: The dark part, the trim; when I paint it, I get these.... how should I say it... like brush strokes that show through? Takes a second coat to cover those. You'd think that dark color would cover better?
I'm using a High Quality paint, and nice brushes. The trim is a satin latex. I'm I doing something wrong on the trim?
