The tool shed at Kate Martin's house was in dire need of new shingles, facia boards, and door trim. When all was stripped it was clear that along with the rot from water getting in the sheathing and Rafters needed repairs due to the carpenter ants having a field day. Photos of the finished project are coming soon!

Mitch and Lauren called me to give them a price on replacing their railings. When I got there I found that they had four sections of circular railing. After hearing what the cost of just the railing sections that were curved were they asked if I could save the railings that were there. And I told him that anything was possible. After 15 years of being out in the weather a lot of that nails that fast in the bottoms of the spindles had rusted away. So 3/4 of the balusters had to be drilled and screwed back into plaed on the bottom rail. Then the task of sanding and scraping at least 10 coats of paint began. There were some areas that had to be replaced due to rot and then the deck needs to be tended to. We used Benjamin Moore High build white for the railings and then for the deck we use Benjamin Moore arborcoat Dry Sage.

The carpet, in the third floor of Kevin and Jovi's rental property, was worn out. So I was taken with ripping it up and replacing it with Trafficmaster laminate by home depot. Ripping up the carpet revealed a host of repairs to the subfloor. The Box said '' easy enough for a do it yourselfer to install''. Prep work aside, I struggled with it at points and I installed commercial floorcoverings for 20 plus years. The results speak for themselves.

The Sha's entrance area needed to be updated. The trim and doors were painted using Benjamin Moore semi gloss Pure White and th walls were done with Benjamin Moore egg shell finish, Parkham Gray. The old incandescent fixture were replaced with LED recessed conversion lights with variable color temperatures. The results speak for themselves. Bhavesh and Hetal loved it.

Seems like paint is the order of the season. Here's Judy from Soughton's half bath an hall that needed to be brought up to date. Vinyl wall covering was removed. The all the imperfections were speckled, then the trim got caulked. Something the original contractor never did. Two Coats went on everything
