A few nice days = some exterior progress!!
Alright so FINALLY a few nice days in late march and I've been itching to get outside and get things moving again on the exterior of the house. I have the master bedroom windows all restored and ready to put back in so I wanted to get the openings fixed up. So I got the ladder set up and the scrapers and sandpaper and went to town, its in rough shape but I completely stripped the old paint and sanded off as much of the grey wood as I could and it cleaned up pretty nice. Once I dusted everything off I applied a coat of oil primer, I swear by sherwin williams exterior oil wood primer (slow dry). I used it on my old ex-house along with a duration latex topcoat and it held up perfect, when we moved 11-ish years after the paint job it still looked like new, no peeling or anything, with the exception of where I got lazy on some high areas that peeled up a little. Just have to do a little sanding on the holes I filled and a final prime then we'll get that all finish coated and get the windows back in, can't wait to see them installed, gonna look awesome I think, especially without those god awful aluminum triple track storms hiding those beautiful old windows. Also put up a bundle of siding on this side of the house, mostly to the left of the lower window. It was nice to get outside and get a bit of progress. Here's some pictures of the bedroom/driveway side of the house...

ReplyDeleteI live in Madagascar ( East Africa),and life is worth living comfortably for me and my family now and really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life as I have been going through a problem as seriously as my son found a terrible accident last two weeks, and the doctors states that he needs to undergo a delicate surgery for him to be able to walk again and I could not pay the bills, then your surgery went to the bank to borrow and reject me saying that I have no credit card, from there i run to my father and he was not able to help, then when I was browsing through yahoo answers and i came across a loan lender Mr, Benjamin Breil Lee, offering loans at affordable interest rate I had no choice but to give it an attempt and surprisingly it was all like a dream, I got a loan of $ 110,000.00 to paid for my son surgery then get myself a comfortable business to help me going as well. I thank God today is good and you can walk and is working and the burden is longer so much on me more and we can feed well and my family is happy today and i said to myself that I will mourn aloud in the world of the wonders of God to me through this God fearing lender Mr Benjamin Breil Lee and I would advise anyone in genuine and serious need of loan to contact this God-fearing man on ...... 247officedept@gmail.com through .. and I want you all to pray for this man for me or Chat with him on whatsapp +1-989-394-3740 as well.
