First Project!

What a fantastic job! (the color is great too) I am choosing this plan as my first project as well. I have built small things before and I am familiar with how to use saws and such, but this is a build that I have been working up the confidence to tackle, lol. Wish me luck, cause this is the weekend I will be starting it :)
Again, you did a great job!

BTW

By the way, I agree with your last statement about asking the paint associate at your Home Depot for advice on which paint or technique to use, I am an associate at The Home Depot and the folks we have in our paint department are fabulous!! they are very knowledgeable and most have years of experience and a background in the painting trade.
