After 6 weeks of painting it's done. Finally. The entire house was sanded, received a coat of primer, and received two coats of paint. And all done by brush, no spray painting. Whew!
We are now into the 4th week of painting our house. Today's task is applying a second coat of primer on all wood trim. Color on the siding could come in the next day or two. If not then, next week. They still have to do the prep work on the dormers and garage.

This intrepid crew closed out the 75th Anniversary Open House of the Highland Park Society of Model Railroad Engineers, Inc. Hundreds of model railroaders, friends, spouses, and the curious were in awe over the weekend after viewing one of the larger, better-known model railroad layouts in the greater Los Angeles area.
Founded April 1, 1948 in Highland Park, a suburb of Los Angeles, the club formed after their layout above Al’s Hobby Shop was abandoned when Al’s closed down. A small group of avid model railroaders decided they would puhase their own building to house their next model layout to insure they would be in control of their own destiny. That was 75 years ago and the club is still going strong.
