    We were also able to lay down the first coat of epoxy on the floor inside. We hope to lay down a second coat tomorrow. We also want to do a little prep work and paint the drawbridge tomorrow...

    Behr's top of the line flat exterior house paint, in the correct U.S. military woodland green. It closely approximates the military CARC (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating), without any of the hazmat concerns. When we pulled up to the house tonight in the dark, it was all but invisible...
