House Project Update for 03 January 2003

Can't Post | Private Reply

We began the new year with the roof sealing. Interesting process of seven layers of sealer, asphalt, fiberglass, and aluminum paint.

We are still plastering and stuccoing -- seems like that will go on forever.

looks good, Rolly. I hope you get more mileage out of the aluminum paint than we did. Our temperature extremes are pretty severe, but we were only getting about a year out of a coat of the aluminum paint before it all flaked off. I've had better luck with something called "snow roof," a very heavy duty latex paint that has some stretch in it.

Mirador??

Rolly;

It looks as if there is a lot of usable space on the roof..........any plans for a mirador or a palapa?
