Screw Behr overpriced crap? I not sure about their stains, but the indoor paint is the best. IMO

I was basing my opinion on the indoor paint, they stuff was not our favorite when we repainted the whole house, didn't spread well or cover well. Hey I am no expert, just full of opinions.

I guess you will have to stain then seal, what a ****, I HATE overhead work.

Looking good Steve! You can use any stain if you are going to put some poly on over top. I would recommend the poly coat with the humidity in your area.

The Payphone is a real cool factor! Hang it up and leave it for a couple of days before doing the permanent fastening. It is bigger than you think and it might be an obstacle to foot traffic. Just my $0.02. Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words. I don't think the payphone will be in a bad area, I should have it up this weekend. I post a picture when done, it's more of a weight issue then anything the thing must weigh 30lbs or so. I was going to mount with 160lb toggle bolts 1/4" X 3" since this is a stucco wall, I dilled the six holes needed 3/4" hole in stucco. Drilled 6 in the wall 3 in the wall, 3 others over a 2x4 on the right side. So I need to get some lag bolts for this side first. You start something like this and it's a lot of back to the store for something trips.

Look from pool area.




Look from bedroom.




Pay phone has been mounted



Work on porch has been slow mainly because this one project has turn into 5 all the wiring for HT or House audio, my IP closet the AV closet.... I left this open for a better access into attic, since it's a nice time of year not being too hot.

Yeah, it's not too hot here either. Boo-hoo!!

Attic work SUCKS I say but it's better when the attic is 85f vs. 145+f.

For you Josh I hope for 68f with a nice southernly breeze.
