The porches having been sanded, we have started on the process of repainting them.  They needed it, badly.  As always, chrome green to match the trim.  I got the east porch floor done today (though not around each of the pillars) and I think the paint will work quite well.  It is always a bit a gamble.  The only paint that truly lasted was the WWII surplus battleship grey, that lasted decades.  The previous job was incorrectly applied and lasted all of a year or two before it began to fail.  To be fair, antique wood over a dirt crawlspace….not the easiest sort of porch to paint.

We shall see, this is an acrylic (with lots of fancy gibberish concerning epoxy particles and such).  It went on easily, looks good, and seems to be drying well.
