Caboose Painted Inside

Avi Lenchner of Avi Decorative Painting
(Menlo Park, CA) has finished painting the inside of our backyard caboose, WP668.
All the little holes are filled. It looks bigger and brighter inside!
We took down the hanging bunk and its end wall in order to

fix the floor
in January. Those have also been painted so they will
match. We will reinstall the bunk and wall after the new floor surface
goes in.

For earlier painting pictures, see my

March 31
