Scrape and Paint Sunporch - Pics of new project
While DH has been known to get his hands dirty (his role, admittedly, is to earn the money that I'm spending) it is not him in the picture. It's Ruben, he's one of a group of hermanos who work for me from time to time.

The bump-out is my 'master bath'; directly below it (inside the porch) is a 1/2 bath. The bump-out was built in 1940 when the house was 'modernized' with - hold your breath and wait for it - - - - - indoor plumbing.
When I get the inside of the porch all done - I swear it will be before halloween (or DH will murder me) - the next project is gutting those two bathrooms.
PS. what do you think of the railings. I also made a set to replace the crappy iron ones that currently grace my front porch.

It looks great Leah! I'm glad you made the railings the same as the old ones. They're really sharp!
The windows look a lot better now too. Nice work!

Pushing 60 hours of paint prep and painting and I'm still not done yet. But, deliriously tired, here's a brief before and after for paint.

BTW, picture shows an opening in an 'exterior' wall. The sunroom is a porch enclosed in the 1940s. These are the thin walls in the house - only 12 inches of brick + 1.5 inches of paneling. In the older part of the house I've got 16 inch exterior walls and 14 inch interior walls.
It is, as I have heard them say, a brick sh$thouse.

We ordered these vintage turn of the century light fixtures and they came this week. If anyone wants vintage lighting I would HIGHLY endorse the place we ordered them from (PM for the plug).
One's up, one to go.
