Then someone told us that painting a house that black is something druggies who grow pot in their houses do. Maybe that's what you need to tell your Hunny.<BR/><BR/>We're in the process of choosing colors for our house and have been pleased to find pints of paint. I've been painting single panels with the colors we like, looking at them different times of day to get a feel for them.
