Rebuilding Cottage Porch

Cottage Porch Outside

Uniberp is rebuilding the porch on his cottage.

Cottage Porch Inside

Fallout from an email coversation:

California Bob is contemplating painting: . . .  need advice on paint sprayer.

• Would like something to do a large quantity of trim, baseboards. 
• Would like something portable and self contained -- not one you have to hook to an air compressor.

I seem to recall you used one to paint the inside of a garage. Suggestions?

Uniberp replies: 

Battery airless came out this year. Several to choose.

Harbor Freight, Avanti, Graco

But the most important thing is the paint. Oil based enamel is the most durable, and flows so well that spray is overkill, plus it takes a whole day to dry and you have the vapor to deal with.

If you do it before it's installed you still have to fill nail holes or clamp it in place with adhesive.

I'll work up to painting this whole place at some point.  I delay because painting is my least favorite part.
