i see spots
i've always wanted to say that. The Wonderboard is laid on
top of thin set mortar troweled with a quarter inch notched trowel and
then screwed down every eight inches with special screws. We made a
template of cardboard and used spray paint to mark the screw spots on the
board. this took 700 screws, |
Getting Silly
As long as we went this far, we thought we would refinish
the weathered door sills. They were stained after being sanded and then
sealed with spar varnish. |

A Real Swinger
The door to the outside was hinged on the left side which
made the door open into the center of the room. We removed the door,
filled the old hinge mortises and re-hung it to swing to the outside. What
is Dottie doing now? |
All Done
150 hours of sweat to get to this.We painted over the old
paneling with the same white as we used on the trim. Speaking of trim, the
floor took 71 feet of baseboard and 71 feet of shoe molding. That's
a lot of trim painting. New wicker furniture completed the sun-porch
look. The glass-top dining table in the left foreground adds to the
airy feel of the room |
