We've been doing some maintenance on Overmountain Shelter aka 'The Barn' and it is time for a new paint job. Whadaya think?

Paint it purple!

Green baby, green.

[Sierra Echo]

Green baby, green.

People might miss it when walking through the woods!

[Luddite]

See Rock City. That would be funny.

Nah, they'd just have to follow the smell!

"Chew Mail Pouch"
How all barns should be painted.

The weathered gray color looks fine on most barns and a close match to that is Sherwin Willians Mountain Ash gray.

[Lugnut]

I like it the way it is.

[K2]

It's a barn, leave it red! Of course, you should paint a "See Rock City" sign on the roof!

[mister krabs]

Agreed, red with "see rock city"

[Pedaling Fool]

High-vis Yellow

I like the idea of weathered grey. You could also put a series of signs on the approach trail with one of the Burma-Shave ditties, culminating with Burma-Shave on the side of the barn!

Here's one, unfortunately never officially used, that refers to a place to stay/roost:

Listen birds / These signs cost / Money / So roost a while / But don't get funny / Burma-Shave

[bigcranky]

If it's not red, it's not The Barn.

[mountain squid]

hmmmm, looks like Barn Red is the favorite, thus far.

Here are some more previews of alternate choices:

[sarge95]

think one of the advertisements will pay for the paint

[Sierra Echo]

Not the yellow! Anything but the yellow~!

[Tinker]

Hunter safety orange.

What is it with the "chew mail pouch" thing? As a postal carrier, I find that disturbing!!!
