I gotta say.....that's my new all-time favorite " paintina "....real or implied.

It reminds me of a time.....way back in the mid-nineties...........I was working a shutdown at Potlatch Paper in Lewiston....an' the local paper ran a front pager on the " Timeless Treasure " that was uncovered by some local contractors as they were peeling 'facades' off of an original storefront during a substantial remodel on a downtown commercial building.
They had uncovered one layer from the turn of the century revealing a very cool previous storefront......can't remember the details to well.....but they were so pleased with their discovery....they were even entertaining the thought of preserving it.....Kind of a " Time Capsule "....of sorts.

That " Flame Job " is the neatest thing I've seen yet.....Nice job realizing early that you needed to save it......an' nice job saving it.
You all watch.....C10hevy's on the cuttin' edge....
Folks will try to be duplicatin' that one...
Verrry Nice......Very nice.
