[Rhodes22-list] Painting

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Mark,

Looks like your guy, Tim Lackey, is making steady progress.  When I do a big project, I try not to show my wife until near the end.  Often, these projects look pretty awful for a long time before they start to look better.  Deb gets depressed if I show her too big a mess!  As an engineer, I’m used to being around projects that really tear up the site and take years to finish.  So, it doesn’t bother me.
