    Wow! Cheryl, you've been busy. I too love your bench, how nice that hubby is talented enough to make it for you. It all looks great and should serve it's purpose well. Nice work!

    The shed and the house are both a color called "wood smoke". But the shed looks a little 'green' in the last photo. But thanks!

    And regarding that mildew.... so I need to scrub it all off? Don't they make a special paint product called Killz (or something like)?

    And thanks Terry. He's pretty handy to have around sometimes. :-D

    Cherylad--I have always dealt with mildew by washing with a bleach & water solution to kill it, but I really don't know if there are other ways of handling it. There is a preventative that you put in the paint to discourage it. I use that for areas where it keeps coming back & that seems to help.

    Thanks everyone.
    Philip... my "good brother" was over today and I got a good chuckle out of him walking between the two areas. One foot here... another there. No wait... over there.
    Anybody remember that game "twister"? That's what it reminded me of. :D
