I started a deck facelift/re-staining project in Spring Hill, TN the previous week for my awesome new clients, Nicole, and her Mother Judy. I replaced a few rotting deck boards. Then this past week I filled many holes, and cracks, and used a standing sander that we rented at Home Depot to sand the entire deck. Next I applied a nice thick coat of Sherwin Williams "Super Deck" solid color stain that I color matched to a piece of old deck board that OI removed. Next I will be constructing an Arbor onto the deck to provide partial shade over the section of the deck where they hang out the most.

Later in the week I went back to the Verdei Group managed condominium property named "The Colony House" in Franklin, TN where there are ongoing projects. One of these ongoing projects is replacing rotting fence boards, and then staining them. Many other areas of the fence that goes all around the property needs some minor repair work as well. The drywall I repaired the last time I was there needed a coat of PVA primer, and I took care of that. I also replaced two rotting railing caps a couple weeks ago, and then applied a coat "Super Deck" solid color stain that I color matched to a piece of the old rail cap.

Its that time of year! People are repairing and sprucing up their decks in time for summer gatherings, and gardening is in full swing!

This past week started out with a small prime and paint project for regular client in Franklin, TN. Over time water had started penetrating and damaging the trim above her garage door. Most like from around her address number plate, which I used caulking to create a seal around. I continued to prime and then paint the entire trimmed area.

I returned to Lisa's place in Old Hickory and continued with the planter box base project. I completed the assembly of the bases, and then attached the planter boxes using cleat material. Then I used more fence board material to create a trim around each unit as well. Later Lisa used "Seal it Green" to coat the entire planter box interior including the plywood bottom to help protect the wood for years to come.

The end of the week included multiple deck repair projects. The first was at a rental managed by The Verdei Group in Clarksville, TN where I replaced a few rotten boards. I took a piece of the old deck to Sherwin Williams where they were able to match it with a new gallon of solid color "Super Deck" stain. I plan to do the same thing for a new client in Spring Hill, TN where I also replaced a few boards, and also all the top railing cap around the deck. In this case I will be renting a standup sander this upcoming week and sanding the entire deck before staining.

I completed a few smaller projects this past week, but that was after the completion of Lisa's Gazebo assembly in Old Hickory. It came together nicely, and then I mounted the legs into the cement footings that I set the previous week. Then I hung the enclosure and mosquito netting.

The Verdei Group property management called me out to patch a ceiling hole in a unit that they manage after a plumbing leak was repaired. I'll be going back to spray texture, prime, and then paint later.

Brian and Allison are new clients of our in Arrington, TN that I had recently replaced an exterior door for, and completed a ceiling repair for them as well. They called me back out to do a ceiling repair over their front porch, and match their existing paint. First I used a PVA primer before painting after I sanded the final top coat of joint compound.

A facility management company out of Florida reached out to me this past week as well. They manage the Ashley Furniture stores in Middle Tennessee, and around the south. I was asked to install a new FDC sign (Fire Dept Connection) outside of the Ashley store in Mount Juliet, and then asked me to put un a new handicap parking sign at an Ashley location in Cookeville, TN also. That store needed a new floor transition in their showroom as well.
