My husband and I purchased a house five years ago built in 1998 that has a permanent wood foundation. It always had something on the foundation that looked textured, like concrete. It looked so much like concrete, in fact, that you couldn't tell it wasn't until you got up close to it.
It is now starting to peel off, in a major way. The front part of the house by the garage is just down to the wood now; the covering has peeled completely off, yet most of the rest of the covering on the rest of the house remains intact. We contacted the builder to see what he used, and come to find out, they evidently don't make it any more. So, that leaves us in a quandry. We wish to sell (nothing to do with the wood foundation), and are wondering how we can make the bare wood look textured, like concrete, to match the rest of the wood foundation.
If there is anyone out there who has any suggestions, I would be very qppreciative. We don't just want to paint it gray, because it will just look like wood that has been painted gray, and it won't match the rest of the house. Any ideas??
Thanks, and have a good one!!
