Painting begins, sort of

9-13-08 It was a little damp (raining, remnants of Hurricane Ike)) when we first attempted to paint. We started by painting the undersides of the Hood and Doors and the jams. However, the humidity got the better of us and caused this paint to blush (think water ring on nice furniture) We called it a day, perhaps next week.
