Protection Primer

Just went under contract, won't close till October 15th, but I needed to take care of some weather exposure before then. Here is a shot of the paint which has worn off of the main beams on the back of the house.

I put some color matching primer on them. Once we close (or get close to closing) I'll start doing some proper painting. The white wash on the undersides will be white and the beam will be navy blue. But at least for now the wood is protected. Here is an after shot.

The color of the house really is bad, it's a putty color, with white wash under the eaves in the back, but all putty in the front. Definitely needs some sprucing up.

Ugly Float and Tape

Getting started on the float and tape job on the upstairs half bath. Pretty ugly so far. This is just the first coat, which is really intended to just get the tape down. Looks ugly, but it's actually not bad. Won't know for sure how it will look till the last coat. Plan is to do a texture-free level 5 finish. Not sure if I'll be able to pull it off or not, worst case if it doesn't pan out I can just throw some texture up.

Back Wall Done

Finally 100% done with the back wall of the house. Windows installed, trim done, and paint. The windows will probably get pretty messy until I have time to install the edging and river rock along the edge, but that will come later.

Figuring out a plan for the sunken area, cleared it all out. Will likely need to deal with the chimney first.
