Customizing a Victorian Mansion
« on: September 10, 2022, 05:46:24 »
This project shown where it stands, right in the middle.

The paint is Rust-Oleum fine textured sandstone. It creates both a real-stone appearance and consistent color overall, which was lacking with my pieced together structure and age of components.

I am working on “retro brite” bleaching the window frames, doors, window boxes and the sunroom filigree, as many of them are yellowed with age. This seems to work fine with “food grade” hydrogen peroxide (12%) and UV light.

It’s slow!!

Looking good so far!

The stairs to the attic need work. (This ‘broken tread’ was cut out with a hot wire-type styrofoam cutter.)
