    Default The porch is done!!!


    Well this morning I put on the final coat of the floor paint. It is some of that gritty stuff that is anti-slip and is suppose to wear very well. It's a pain to put on though, but if it lives up to it claims it will have been worth it. I only have to touch up a couple of places where I splashed some of that stuff on the wall and rails. That should take about 1/2 hour. So here is what it looks like, now to get the rest of the house to match.

    Looks good Gene! I need to do some work on my porch as well, but need to find a belt sander first. Getting too hot these days to do much work outside for long, but I better get it done before fishing 'season' starts up again.

    Very nice Gene. The gray with white trim looks excellent, and the railing is first class. A classic look right there. Feels good to stand back and look at it doesn't it? Thanks for posting, enjoyed it.

    That is what is missing from all these new subdivisions! A nice front porch to sit on and wave to your neighbors. Mine is so small it is not really a porch. I have a screen porch on the back, but it would be nice to sit out front.
    You did a great job, makes you want to pull up a rocker and a glass of ice tea(or somethng cold) and visit a while.

    That's nice PPG. But the pink is ugly. Who pick that color?

    Do you hire out?

    How long does the floor paint last?

    I love a porch. I have an Acadian style home with a porch across the from and across the back. That is nice work you did.

    Thanks all for the kind words.

    SeaRay, there are 2 rockers and a small swing set that go on the porch. I have to wait 5 days, according to the instruction on the floor paint, before I can put them back on.

    JR, that pink isn't ugly, the rose color is UGLY. Well it used to not be that color but that's what it faded into. I hope to get it covered soon.

    Very nice Gene. The house is going to look great in that gray. First class. Now rest up when you are done and get ready to fish.
