Gas pipes and others can be moved, or put through the new foundation. Its a minor detail.

Paint Brick to cover adhesive that will NOT come off

K

kasheville on Jan 19, 2008

This house is my first home. The inside and size is perfect for me, however I am not in love with the outside. The front is brick and the sides is shingled. You can't see the sides from the curb. The front is boring and I am tempted to paint the shingles and brick the same color...However, I would like to look at all my options before I paint the brick. There must have been some sort of awning attached to the top of the door and windows. I have pressure washed it and scraped it with wire brushes with adhesive remover with no success. Anyone have any suggestions?Read More

Drive different colors

H

hpennington22 on Jan 11, 2008

I have recently had my driveway poured. They did it in 2 different pours on different days. They poured the 36 yards the first day and the remaining 10 yards a few days later. The first part is a lite gray color. It has several places where you can see the float marks and other imprefections. They were working with it until about 1 am. It was cold that night, temps were around the 30's. It holds up fine we are driving on it. The second pour was done a few days later and it is perfect with a darker gray color. My concrete guys said they will come back fix the float marks. My question is about the color differents is there a coat I can have put on the first part to match the second? Can I stain the entire part? If so how will it hold up with the daily driving on it? Any help would be greatly appericated. Thanks, HenryRead More
