[Hugh R]

Had a contractor do the work. I've used him for 25 years, his kids went to school with my kids. Hydroblast, two coats of primer, sealing most of the holes in the ship-lap siding, two coats of Dunn-Edwards best exterior paint. Replaced three rotted fence posts. Hydro-blasted about 300 feet of fencing (both sides) and did the same prep and paint. Ripped off 1/4 of the patio cover and replaced it (about 300 sq. ft.) re-roofed another 600 sq. ft. or so of patio cover. Replaced about 50 feet of facia board and will refinish both sides of my Oak front door. He's also putting in a 50 Amp outlet for the big ass RV, where I park it. $12,500. Might go a little higher with a few small change orders (the RV outlet). He is also licensed and bonded. He's taken about six weeks, slow, but very good. I'm not in a hurry.
