Today on my post construction to do list was painting the metal frames
of the three basement windows. In the almost 40 years that we've lived
in this house I've never done that. They were very rusty. This project actually took two days a week a part. I prepared the frames by scrapping all the rust away and washing them clean. Then it got too late to finish the job. The next five days were all rainy and then it was Memorial Day. Finally I was able to get back to finish the job, but I had to sand the frames again. Putting blue tape around all the edges took some time. Finally the paint went on. That was almost the shortest part of the job. It looks pretty good! |
