08/01/09	Got up early to go to neighbors cabin (that has the same siding and roof) and look at painted trim samples. It was a hard decision but we chose the colors. Drove to Chico, bought paint, and drove back to Almanor. Set up saw horses and plywood on the ground. Started painting at around 1pm. Stan and Denis showed up and helped with painting the green trim and painting the primer on 12 sheets of plywood. Cleaned up the sprayer and then painted the finish color on the plywood (to be used for the soffits)

Scott is just finishing. He has ridge and some of the rafters set. He had to work alone for the afternoon. Cut 4 pieces of trim and painted several colors so that we can make a choice Saturday morning.
