Thanks Moondoggie, I just moved into a new house, so everything has been crazy this month. Of course, the first thing I set up is the garage as a work shop. I already put up an outside bar and making tiki torches and the wifey wants an inside bar and some built-in bookshelves, so the garage has already seen a lot of work go through it.

I just put up the 'witco wannabe' yesterday and it is begging for a friend, so that's gone on my list.

Big Daddy, it is a crap shoot on which paintings stay up. I drive by ones that have been up for years now, but I've also had ones that disappeared the day after I put them up. I use 3 1/2 inch spiral nails, so I don't make it easy to get the plywood off (the wood will break around the nail before the nail pulls out of the pole). I make sure it doesn't obstruct any ones line of sight and usually one pole back from an intersection. I've noticed the graffiti disappears quickly, but my piece close by will stay. Tallahassee is very supportive of the arts, so maybe the city 'gets it', I don't know.

I would give it a try in Houston, the worst thing that could happen is it gets taken down. I've always gone out weekend mornings around 9:00. Walking around with a hammer at night might raise suspicion.
