Couple of ways of dealing with paint and caulk; new wood gets primed then caulk then paint. If it's good old paint, caulk and paint. It's slow going, like most h.i.p. stuff.

All the flooring is up, preping the subflooring, slow and steady. Getting the baseshoe up was interesting, will be able to reuse some and will make some new; appears some was glued in and some was nailed. Lasted well, 25 years or so.

This is my first window project outside of painting interior frames. :)

I've got wooden frames...as far as I can tell, all the wood is good. I've got some caulking loose on the outside and when I pull it away, it pulls the paint on the frame with it. So I'm looking at bare wood that I'm going to have to prime. Got no problem painting. I just want to make sure I do the caulking right.
