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.

Looking mighty good my friend

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. :)

Thanks "G".

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?:biggrin

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.

My home is that grey. I did under the porch a lighter shade of grey to make up for when a shadow is cast on it and burgundy shudders,

I like it Paw Paw! Good job!

Another job well done.

You do great work! Now go catch some fish, and take a break!

That is some good advice Redge. I thought I'd get to catch some Sunday. The wife and I went help my friend spray for lilies and other grasses to keep them from blocking up the canal on the lease. We had just about finished one side of the 3 mile long canal when the weather starting building in the east and was moving in our direction. Since I had to cross a nice size lake that is known for getting very rough, we had to leave. Linda can't take a pounding with her bad back. The next few days call for some strong storms so we wait to see what the end of the week will bring.

Phase 2

Well I finally got finished with all the scraping and chalking of one side of the house and sprayed the paint on it. This is what it looks like now. I put the project on hold until Monday when I will start phase 3.

Really looks nice Gene.........good job

good job...

Mr. Gene, leave one side the old color so everyone can see how much better it looks.

Very nice Gene - boy, that sure did make a big difference. Huge difference in fact. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks fellas, there is a lot more to be done.

It's a good feeling to stand back and look at it isn't it?

You are right Randy but I can't wait to be able to stand back and look at the house with no "pank" on it. That will be at least a month from now.
"gene"

You do nice work!! I'd be proud to have my house look like that .

Thanks Redge, it's nice to hear and it's nice to stand back as Randy says and just enjoy.

Yep, "was" is the key word there. Now it's pank or should I say half pank..

Looks great PawPaw, of course I got to see an early preview! Sure enjoyed you and Mrs. Linda's visit.
