Seasonal & Coastal
On the Gulf Coast, the calendar matters as much as the color. Dew point can quietly ruin a coat that went on under a clear sky, an afternoon thunderstorm can wash out a day's work, and the salt-spray zone near the water plays by its own rules entirely.
The posts here are about timing and climate: how humidity and dew point break a job, the best windows to paint inside and out, what salt air does to a beach house at Fort Morgan or on the bayfront, and how long paint realistically lasts in Mobile's weather. Storm prep, mildew, and exterior chalking round out the practical side.
It's the seasonal playbook we work from all year on the coast.
