Painting …. hopefully

Filed under: Restoration Progress — admin @ 12:11 am

The painters pressure washed the north and west faces of the house last week, and will hopefully (weather permitting) be starting prep work this week, although it is a short week. It’s been a bit rough for them, though, because we’ve had temperatures that are about 20 degrees below normal for the past couple of weeks.

The carpenters replaced the carport ceiling, and I hung the new light fixture today. Now our porch and carport fixtures match. We picked them up a couple of years ago at either Lowe’s or Home Despot. They were close-out models, and I was wishing there were three, because we have another spot for a light fixture on our porch.

Since I am done with the boy work for the carpenters, I can now focus my energies on getting past the 80% mark in the foyer. It’s actually more like 64%, which is 80% of 80%. Damn … I’m only an 80% member of the 80% club…

I’m also working on making updated color maps for the painters, since there are a few details that were not shown in the original ones that we got from Robert Schweitzer. I may upload some of the color maps, I may not. I may make everyone wait until I can get pictures of the completed project. Trust me, it WILL be worth the wait.
