Nice insight into the home situation! Living in SoCal, it's easy to forget that the rest of the country has WEATHER!

Agreed! Here in SoCal we only have three seasons: Christmas and Fire. :lashed:

Yup...we get it all!
A few years back, early in the work season...I started the day bundled up. We had wind, snow and ice, that gave way to rain and hail...ended the day with calm, sun and stripped down to shorts and got my 1st sun burn of the year!

Finally got the big'n painted.
This Hataka paint needs to be thinned way down to spray with any kind of decency. I love it...for small jobs. It SUCKS for big jobs, such as this. Takes FOREVER to get coverage.
If I were a bettin' man, I'd bet a nickel I've got at least 12 hours in the painting alone (including the pre-shading).

Sounds like it’s a good paint for hand brushing with that sort of viscosity.

For the little that I have used it with a brush...so far, so good.

That's a lot of acreage to cover with paint! It may have been difficult but the result looks great!
