First, the garage.
This is going to save us a lot of stress! If you are driving home to Fells, glance at the clock and it's after 6:00, your palms get sweaty, your heart rate goes up and you hope that luck is on your side... you need to find a parking spot.
We had to let the concrete dry for 48 hours before we drove on it. We spent that entire time hoping and praying that our car would fit. It does.
Next project: Deck
We had the framework for the deck built. The plan is for Sam and his dad to finish the rest next week. We are going to use tech-wood after seeing how brutal the sun can be to roof top decks in the city.
The final, but biggest, project that we started this past week: Painting.
We used a Home Depot Behr Paint + Primer Ultra Exterior satin. The shade is "Dark Cavern."
It was difficult reaching the 3rd floor so Sam opted to paint from the roof.
The best part about working on the exterior is that the neighborhood really cheers you on. We met a few more of our neighbors and everyone who passed had something really nice and encouraging to say about our progress.
