(1) 2000
A recent repaint masked poorly bonded paint and nearly a century of accumulating deterioration. |
|
(2) Work in progress, and completion. |
|
(3) The corroded sheet metal deck was replaced with fiberglass. New, narrower posts increased useable deck area. |
|
(4) Deterioration concealed under misguided fills and paint. The window was replaced. |
|
(5) Unusual rot progression through the sash's center
It was repairable. Note the replacement beveled siding. |
|
(6) Completed deck
The fiberglass material is similar to a boat hull. It extends approximately nine inches up behind the siding and provides a most durable and effective barrier to moisture intrusion. |
|
(7) Prior to work, and completion. This oak door was stripped of paint and refinished with polyurethane varnish. The leaded glass sidelights and door panel were removed and repaired. |
|
(8) The master bedroom balcony was rebuilt similarly to the deck below. |
|
(9) In shop construction, and installation. Deck railing components were pre-coated prior to assembly. All surfaces, and most particularly vulnerable end grain, were thoroughly sealed. The flat wing wall caps are disguised metal flashings. |
