ARDUOUS RUST: The Exterior of Jordan Cottage....
http://arduousrust.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-exterior-of-jordan-cottage.html
PROJECTS and HOW TOO. Monday, August 3, 2015. The Exterior of Jordan Cottage. New screen doors going in. The roof is a little close to the color which i never even thought about, but hopefully the roof will be replaced one day. It was originally shingle so i would do a color that reflects that original look, so a faded brown. Just wait till the hysteria can climb up it and the clematis is going strong.

ARDUOUS RUST: May 2015
http://arduousrust.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
PROJECTS and HOW TOO. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Before and after . Chair edition. A little elbow grease, translate to ripping the ugly velour off this chair and exposing the burlap underneath. As always a little faith that underneath there's usually something better. If not its ready to be recovered. Luckily for me this is an old chair and mostly they always have a burlap covering. Just need a great seat cushion and were in business. All this for 10 bucks :-). Thursday, May 7, 2015. Love me some plumbing.

PROJECTS and HOW TOO. Monday, March 30, 2015. Od these photos look bad. See the final product below. Im still looking into replacing the knobs for a chunkier effect and with another cutting board strategically placed in front of the dash at the back i think it could pass.
