that makes perfect sense. I think I remember reading about/seeing that back then.
There is definitely a lot of flakes "standing up" on this bad boy. But most of those bad boys go away with a bit of persuasion from a bristled brush.
I'd like to think that I am over the hump on this, but I think I just have the frame of the house up. The finish work ALWAYS takes longer.
If you know what I mean.
