| 1822 farmhouse will have old
stucco stripped off
and re-done. We are providing the scaffold for this project. After the roofers and carpenters finish, we'll strip off the stucco and re-do it. |
Old stucco was scored to look like granite blocks like this other 1822 building.we did here We built a rack for quick scoring in hot weather. Many readers have written to ask how we scored the stucco, and how we get mortar to bond to the old, soft porous brick. Please check back for the interesting details. |

SOS- I recycle all our scrap metal lath, junk tools,
etc. On
the left is a pick-up load of metal I pulled out of a dumpster on one of our remodeling jobs. I estimate I have recycled over two tons of metal in the last 6 months. I can't save our planet alone. Please help. If a million contractors keep a ton of metal out of the landfill every year, that is a million tons a year of metal. |
