Saturday, December 7, was our Dynamic Green Home Painting Primer. Thanks to the dozen or so volunteers who came out in some remarkable cold to learn and paint. Thanks as well to our Sponsors and Partners, represented by
and to our DGH crew members
- Paul Bergevin (Hirshfield's Paint)
- Steve Lincowski (Wooster Brush)
- Phil Kirkegaard (general contractor)
- Cindy Martimo (interior design teacher at Dunwoody)
Next week we'll have some pictures of the finish coats when we show up for the Fundamentals of Flooring session. (Speaking of which, have you contributed to our Barnraisings effort yet?)
For now, here are some shots of what Saturday looked like.

One of the things that I learned is that changing the composition of paint to make it low or no VOC triggers a need for corresponding changes in application tools. We already know that Hirshfield's has been working to produce their paints in an environmentally friendly way. Hirshfield's and Wooster have been working for quite awhile at making it better and easier for contractors (and homeowners) to be more environmentally sensitive when painting.
Join us next weekend at our Dynamic Green Home for Fundamentals of Flooring. We'd love to see you there.
