Paint and Stain
















The painters are just about done with the paint and stain on the house. The paint is a deep sage green and the stain is a brownish cedar color. A couple of posts and fascia need stain and it will be done. Garage doors are in and painted as well. All rough in inspections are tomorrow, and then we will insulate later this week and start dry-wall next week.

Siding, septic, and concrete stain
















A quick update on the project. Siding is completed and the Galvalume (zinc, aluminum and corrugated steel) wainscoting and walls turned out awesome. The brackets, sofits, and post/beams will all be stained natural while the hardi board and battens will be a deep sage green color (it's being painted now and will be done this Sunday), and the galvalume is finished already and will not rust. The concrete stain was an adventure--5 coats of acid stain and one coat of acrylic concrete dye and we finally got the "saddle brown" color we were going for. We hired our neighbor and painter to spray the two coats of sealer on it and then I covered it with a protective material so that the insulation and drywallers can get on the project next week. The septic system is also complete now and the gas service was just installed as well--all utilities are in!!! Enjoy the pics.
