Resized Kitchen Window227 viewsOnce we returned to the site, I noticed that they made the window rough openings lower than I had expected. No problem, except in the kitchen, where there would be a counter and sink under a window. In order to allow enough room for a backsplash over the counter, we decided to make this one window a little smaller by adding 3 rows of brick, and doing the rendering again.DrDave

Research - Color Pigment227 viewsColoration of the render coat is impacted by a number of factors - the color of the fine aggregate sand use, the color of the cement, and the amount and ratios of pigment, cement, sand and water used. There several hundred test batches done to ensure the resultant color would match the design. This shows some test batches where color render was applied to cinderblocks.dozer

Primed and Painted Roof Metal227 viewsEach piece of roof metal is painted first with a primer coat and then sealed for maximum rust protection. This is a precaution which should be taken since the integrity of the metal is important in regards to the strength of the roof structure.dozer
