I'm hoping for the best. <BR/><BR/>I did work on it about 10 minutes this morning while I was waiting for the iron to heat up (sounds like a good excuse to paint right?) and made bit more headway but didn't get to take a picture of it as it was still dark outside. <BR/><BR/>Now I'm anxious to get home and take another look at it to see if it looks OK and to continue painting. I'll post the progress pictures tonight but I can tell you I made that screen right side of the tree much darker and that helped.Karen Hargetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332545449869106592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462611214963992941.post-5698355812079474692008-07-16T21:55:00.000-05:002008-07-16T21:55:00.000-05:00Yes, absolutely.
