(1)
This south wall section typifies the futility of spot paint removal. The most recently applied paint is quite sound. However the underlying coatings have lost their adhesion to the siding.
|
|
(2) Window on the lower south wall. Again underlying coatings are separating behind the top coat.
|
|
(3) 2006
There are insipient separations at the juncture of glass and window putty. Otherwise aside from soilage the fifteen year old work is sound.
|
|
(4) Stripped, sanded and ready for priming. For maximum adhesion the primer should soak down into the upbraided wood’s surface.
|
|
(5) Even with less than optimal maintenance the fifty-seven year old wall is fundamentally sound, a testament to heavily dimensioned old growth lumber. Contemporary construction would likely fare less well.
|
|
(6) 2006 Aside from fading, after fifteen years of marine exposure the exterior envelope remains in good condition.
|
|
(7) 2006 There are now a few isolated small paint separations on the bottom edges of the siding, otherwise the work remains intact.
|
|
(8) Primed, caulked, and filled.
|
|
(9) The home’s exposure to Puget Sound.
