Another rush job was completing the paint repair of Caboose 0306. The new siding had shrunk since the initial paint job and lots of seams were showing between the tongue and groove. Plus a number of blisters had formed on one side due to moisture under the paint. Brad had to tackle both the blisters and re-priming the joints.
