Good on the Baja Painters...


Thanks Al---the way he was scrubbing, I doubt he missed any nook or cranny---then we will do the other coats, we need the exercise and are really enjoying doing what work we can on our place.

Hope to see you down there
Diane

I think those are the same two workers I saw when I was there - in a red truck, right?
