I don't wish to disappoint but that is the answer I got. I have some prep photos to share which will show the removal of all the paint. The original...

Thanks guys. That is so weird. I have never seen a 2 filament bulb wired with each filament on a separate circuit. All is good.

That is what buffed clear coat will do for you.

Thanks for following my adventure and stopping by the other day. Can't lie to you. You know where I live.

Gosh that looks awesome with the 2x6 framing; Texture 111 siding; epoxy coating floor. Are you insulating and sheet-rocking the interior? I like what...
