Texture is splattered on with a brush in a
random fashion. Oh no ! I got mortar on my clothes ! Now I can't go to
the formal dance.

Blobs are knocked down when they set up.

Painted bricks required chipping of most of the
paint. You may have seen how we do this here.
|
Wood strips are aligned with a string line. A
string line never lies, like I always say.

Wall is then rodded off between the strips.
|
Wall is dead straight.
|
|
|
Decorative bands at the bottom are formed with lumber, and
filled in. A strip of metal lath is nailed on for insurance the bands
won't ever fall off.
|
Wall finished to match the addition.

|
Side view. Yellow, I mean ocher stucco sure looks nice with
the copper roof
|
Brick fireplace gets a face lift.
|
|
|
I put a lip on the hearth to create a slab like
appearance.
|
The fireplace has a texture like the outside. The hearth is
troweled smooth for a stone-like effect.
