Projects of the Week 05-30-26
While I was refinishing the deck for my new client Nicole, and her Mother Judy the week before we planned on constructing an Arbor to provide shade in the area where they do most of their lounging around the pool. It was scheduled to be completed by the end of this past week, but rain put a damper on that plan, and I plan to finish this upcoming week, weather permitting. The plan is to install 4 large 2" x 10" beams running across the top at the front and back, and then securing 2" x 4" material for the rafters on the top of those. Then the entire Arbor will be stained using the same "Super Deck" solid color stain by Sherwin Williams that I used on the deck. We stained the edges of the lattice and the stop molding material that the lattice will be secured to. Those areas would be hard to stain after the lattice installation.
Since it was raining on and off all last week I was able to tackle a few other indoor tasks. I patched and finished a hole in the ceiling above a shower for my client Cecelia's other rental property in Nashville. I did some extensive drywall repair and painting at her other rental property at The Midtown Loft as few weeks back.
I also started a small paint project at the Colony House in Franklin, TN. The rain kept me from finishing that little project as well. The entry door has to remain open while I paint for ventilation, but I couldn't because the rain wouldn't be good for the door hardware, so that has also been re-scheduled for the following week as well.
