Popular Post BillyJack Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Its been parading around the shop for years . A project you seem to start,move countless times and move to the next project. It's always been in the way, taking space. This is the year to either fix what's broke or install a new project around the house. Still has a ways to go but getting closeer.

BillyJack Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Body paint on house is still good , but I think I will repaint all white trim for this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted July 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 I spent a lot of time priming and painting the window and door trim. I had to redo the two sides and bottom of cedar trim on a bathroom window. The top was excellent but the bottom was slowly rotting( in shade). The first sign was ants. The trim on the back door has a rot spot on the bottom due to rain hitting the deck and splashing it underneath. This will get plastic trim as a replacement. The flower boxes were made from 3/4 and 1/2 MDO, but over time and a lack of replacement paint I'm redoing a couple from birds. I found two dead birds behind the boxes. There is a 3/4 Gap behind the box next to the stucco to allow for air movement. I guess I'll have to close it off a bit to stop birds from being trapped behind. Cedar newel posts I had to repair. They will eventually get replaced, but not this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted July 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Bottom line.... You need to inspect house maintenance yearly. I get lazy and forget to pull the plastic flower pots out of the wooden boxes which creates home for birds and destruction of the box... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted July 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 I'm probably going to have to add some trim at the bottom. Right now it has the appearance of being top heavy.. I'm either going to put a Bama elephant on the top or just use it to put a plant on in the summer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Cool! Maybe do both, with a flowering vine that the elephant can hold in his trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BillyJack Posted July 14, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 A little less top heavy looking with primer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
