Thanks for the kind words. There are several good reasons stopping me. A big factor is my shop. I have a low ceiling in the basement where the HVAC runs the length of the house. I'd have to rearrange a LOT of stuff to somewhat avoid it. Running a close second is my age. Forty years ago, I owned a custom paint business in Houston. The years since have not been kind to me. My vision is especially problematic, and a good painter needs to be able to see well to do detailed work. Lastly, we're in the middle of our first real cold snap and good paint days are increasingly rare. I've been shooting primer either with the doors open or outside. That's not going to work for much longer. So, as Dirty Harry said, "A man's got to know his limitations."
