After another long hiatus...

O.K., I've left you twice now, and for that I'm very sorry to my loyal followers...but a recent set of events have created the need for me to find a new outlet other than the forums in which to share my goodies... :)

I don't have a whole lot more to share with you...I've been working diligently in repairing my exterior milled walls.  I didn't realize at the time that purchasing the particular kit I have meant receiving it with MDF walls.  For some other people this might not pose such a problem, but for me, a perfectionist of sorts, it presents a rather large one...

I had primed, sanded and painted my first wall and ended up with this...


When you got up super close to the house, it had, what I will call, "divits" in the siding...so in mini-world, the owners look like they took their baseball bats to the siding!!!

I had to correct this issue...so I have spent many hours applying DAP to each and every rung of siding, sanding it off and re-painting...I'm ending up with something more to my liking, but still not perfect enough...it's going to have to do at this juncture in my life, because purchasing all new walls is severly out of my budget!!! :P
