Spectacular--will be one of the nation's greatest when they give it a bath.

The building's design was inspired by a bottle of champagne. *Hic*!

I think this is the first time I've seen an olive green skyscraper. Quite irritating, especially in contrast to the golden spire. :?

Where a long-lasting system (sometimes called
encapsulant) is to be brushed, sprayed, or rolled,
surface preparation is very important.
• If an encapsulant is used, use one that is approved
by a state government. If your state does not have
a list of approved encapsulants, it is recommended
that you check with a state that does. Contact the
National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-
LEAD for the telephone numbers of states with lists.
• A sample area should be tested before application.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions exactly.painting
