Title: My last 2 weekends project
Post by: Joel on July 23, 2023, 10:10:06 AM
I've tried to get someone to paint our shop for the last 3 summers and no one ever comes back with a estimate so I  got a great deal on steel siding and the same color.
Along with my brother in law this is a few pictures of the project.
This is an old picture.

The above is before we started.
I'll add more tonight,  as we should be completely done and if my business name needs to be blacked out please do so

OK here are some progress pictures. Stopped early today, just too much time in the sun, along with the inside corner above the door took along time to make sure it is water tight and looked good.
We still have the 8 inch red band above the office windows and 80 feet of red trim to go under the shop  roof, than pressure wash the block and footing to repaint.

We did a double layer to try to keep water out.

Day 4 we finished the inside corner.  This took way too many hrs.
I pulled off the old sign above the roof of the office.

And the red trime above the office for the roof.
We're going to be doing more during the week after closing and will add a few pictures as we finish.

That looks great!  Huge improvement to your place there.  Tons of work but man it's worth the effort.  People going to be telling you to raise prices now just because they feel bad about not spending more money.  :drink:
