Damn cold humidity

Here in Pennsylvania its cold. And humid. And those two things together really, REALLY suck. Not just for me but also for my furniture. Now, I know it's been awhile since I posted anything but that's just because I've been stopped dead in my tracks. By the damn cold humidity.
I was working on my nice china hutch on a particularly cold day and didn't think of one important thing. Paint (apparently) freezes. Yes paint freezes and when it freezes and thaws, it lets moisture into the paint, and warpes it beyond my ability to smooth it. The paint went crazy. And this paint is very good at resisting my sander unfortunately. So here I am hoping for warmer weather, unable to work on furniture because the paint goes crazy and for fear I might loose a finger to hypothermia. Bummer.


But on the bright side... I get to continue collecting furniture for warmer weather! And that, I'm ok with.
