Flakey

More stuff from that house in Little Harbour.

You must be able to buy paint like that so you can faux-finish your walls… so why not your clapboard? :) Flaking paint and old chair

I recall spending close to three months in the basement staining clapboard to cover the outside of this big b-jeazous house. “Don’t forget Kim, you have to do both sides!”

It looks better than vinyl, but it still doesn’t look as authentic as that old smooth high gloss stuff – you know, the type that paint would bake onto and flake off of two weeks after applying it.

Debbie Travis and Chester Dawe (sorry, Rona) should get together to create a new product. You could de-renovate all the newly vacant homes in a whole community – apply this magic Can O’ Flake and instantly… you’ve gone back 100 years!
