I was hoping someone else who is good with wood could chime in!
Could I tee that up any better?
Sorry ya got me again (though I have been someone else, and more than once), bu' 'twasn't a wood question, 'twas a "residential exterior surface coatings preparation and application technician" question.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
