The 2nd Empire Strikes Back | How Choosing the Wrong Materials Can Damage your Historic Home EP 41 @The2ndEmpireStrikesBack | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Hello Everyone!
This week has been quite the challenge as paint doesn't come off of such a porous surface such as limestone easily. So i had quite the struggle getting it off. Some came willingly. Some not so much. Working so much on the front of the building also got me thinking about the colors that it would be finished in at the end of the restoration. SoIi made a little mock up to help visualize what it might look like when complete. Enjoy!
