Hey Vance, I grew up every summer of my life in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Take Sam's word for it, I've seen "baby poop brown" and every other ugly color in the world. There wasn't one cottage in our neighborhood that didn't have some butt ugly color painted on it or in it somewhere. Orange and green staircases, aqua and yellow kitchens. Oh, the horror, and these places were all owned by my aunt and uncle. I guess it was just to take our minds off the un-even floors or the sagging roof. You don't want to know how many porch floors I had to paint Battle Ship gray. I hope your project comes out looking the way you want it to. Good Luck and thanks for finding time in between to write such touching stories. I am stuck in Florida and though I love it here, my mind still wanders the streets of Ocean Park when life gets to busy. The beaches here pale in comparison to the ones I grew up on. Reading your blog brings back those wonderful memories. THANKS
Marco
