28DEC24 - My pool guy brought me some color samples last month because I wanted to paint the cool deck a darker color. It was just too hard on the eyes in the sunlight so I went with an "almond" hue. We first cut in all the edges and around the bullnose edge of the pool with brushes. That took a full day and then some.

The next day we got after it with three long-handled rollers and by sunset we had one coat down. Unfortunately, it was very humid that night with heavy fog and the deck shingles condensed water vapor and it dripped on the not quite dry paint. It was ugly the next morning but after another good coat, you couldn't tell.
