Not this year

IIRC there was some little stuff even after Turkey Day...but it was really mild last year ('till feb then it went super cold for a month)

I'm assuming you're driving back and forth, I couldn't see the airlines letting you on with half the tools us painters use

Regal,i hear what you are saying brother. It's not all the work we have, we had soooo many towards the end of the season we just keep going. We have many lined up for spring with more spring bids in the works. We will come to a head here soon. High temps been in the mid forty to mid fifties this week and upper 40's next week. Now thats some exterior painting weather.
