Clip Summary
Contractors put the finishing touches on the front porch by adding new Yellow Pine shutters and a coat of Sherwin Williams latex paint to the exterior. The Sherwin Williams latex paint product is Duration, which is 70% thicker than regular latex paints and easy to apply.The shutters are being restored before being put back on the house. Randy Withers (from Withers Industries) talks about how the shutters are made from pressure-treated re-kiln-dried Southern Pine, which is close to furniture grade. The shutters are ready to take alkyd-based primer and then two coats of finish. The hardware for the shutters is wrought-steel with zinc coating.
Pressure-treated posts are added to the front porch in preparation for the installation of the new custom railing and balusters. Landscaping gets underway; fieldstone is delivered for the front walkway. Grey granite cobblestones are brought in to make an edged border. A shrub border goes down along the walkway and a sprinkler system is installed.
