Painting Our Caboose Inside

Today, Avi Lenchner of
Avi Decorative Painting
(Menlo Park, CA) started
painting the inside of our backyard caboose, WP668. John and I have
spent many months getting ready for this. John put the final caulk on
the new bay window last night. The painting will go on for several days.
Here are photos of the work so far, starting with photos of WP668’s inside when
we first saw her in 2006:
