the insides aren't color coated. I stained the wood and then mixed a red finish coat to make it look 100 years old. I made the railngs and stringers, the spindles really are 100 years old. the only original part of the house I left. the lower part of the stairs weren't there originally

Hahaha, 1/2 million??  I love it!  I know what you mean because I'm from WI but here in CA you're lucky to buy a VERY small house (in need of massive repair) in a sketchy neighbor for 1/2 million dollars!  Anyway, nice work!  :D

All the work looks good only gun i got lately was a $15 airsoft gun which at this point is a total waste of money at least you got a nice paint gun for work and your car is coming along nice so i am sure you will get some pics in the next week or so worth posting.

There all moving away if they can. The internet has changed business practice. nowadays, you don't even have to live in the same country to work for someone or a company.

the last house I built was for a couple from southern California.
They sold their house, their 86 ferrari, and their new mercedes to live up here, build a mansion and save tons of money.

very nice, what size tip you using?

x2
 
Is it 1.3 tip? I'm looking for a new gun too. I've had most of my Devilbiss guns for around 30 years. They still work great, but I really need to get a new HVLP gun. I do have one, it's a Mattson that works awesome for base coats, but I just can't do clear with it. Probably me, not the gun. So, I still use my old JGAs for shooting clear. I can't swing a new gun at the moment. I bought my wife a pretty nice 25th Anniversary present, so I need to lay low for a while. Anyway, cool gun, give us some details.... or at least the tip size. LOL.

Its sad one girl I liked awhile back told me to paint it pink, I almost vomited.
needless to say that was a turn off, no taste in cars...
