Hi All:

All the walls a painted with acrylic paint. 2 colors. OMG they are are all warped. I must have forgotten to put bracing on the back. Not to worry the bracing will straighten it out.

Hi All:

Here are the 3 colors I'm using:

1) Folk Art Persimmon for the lower walls.

2) Duncan Cobblestone for the upper walls.

3) Duncan Saddle Brown for the windows & doors.

We shall see how it looks.
