Benchwork: To Paint Or Not To Paint?

Thanks for replying Don. I was planning on painting the entire assembly, or nothing at all. I was told by an old carpenter many years ago, if you paint something once, you will ALWAYS have to paint it (garage floor, decking, etc.). I just think painting the benchwork will seal the wood, and give it a finished look. Once again, I think I answered my own question. I plan on having fascia cover half-way down, and skirting of some sort to floor. But given that the wood is pine, it needs to be sealed in some sort of fashion, and not left exposed. Just my thoughts, until someone talks me out of being obsessive-compulsive. <br /> <br />Mike <br />
