" Richard before we talked. About the use of the work that has to be done on the wooden facade I want to ask you about this part of the house occur which is I guess at Charleston staircase with brownstone threads -- Old iron work from the 1820s. It's -- pretty bad conditions. Yeah -- sound you can see. Looking at the brickwork that it was originally exposed brick. Without finally -- lime mortar joints oh really now I would -- thought that it was always -- over in the the Stucco -- ball enough but the original design would have been. Brick and the tip off is that you can see the the elegant -- right the white on joints. It's interesting this dark brown Stucco was kind of a fashion statement at one time day after the 1820s they -- like the look of stone. So this was that Stucco with a natural cement mortar and probably lime -- and scored to look like stone blocks really it's interesting how fashion. Change even in twenty year period so this house built in the early eighteen hundred's underwent. Remodeling. And extensive -- running within twenty years right and then later changes were this layers and layers one watched the Oregon to deal with a story and try to get back to the bare brick we would like that we -- To get it back to the brick but unfortunately we cannot get a lot of Stucco off. So will treated as it was with the a Stucco finish we'll repair the areas that are not stuccoed remove all the paint with. Probably some chemicals and pressure washing. And then we'll go back and -- wanted to look like stone blocks -- wash it to look like stone blocks right and so that will actually. Highlight all the joints of the blocking the look like. Mortar or pelvic undersea let's go up their talk with Dave about what he's doing to remove -- that --"

" This is -- pretty ornate. Piece of molding how are you dealing with a -- various tools that they are contoured to fit into these grooves to. She came from. Taking the what says so what it says the vehicles plunging so you wanna try not to you didn't bring that still won't lose much detail as possible in the and when used using years technique in view of that thing with full review put out you can't its entry and it's a technique like segment can actually -- level. Scrape the -- ads that -- it's very tedious process. Tell our work and this night is basically a triangular blade. I don't know right right like it's a little budding go to the next and the next imaginative -- and also -- and out on a flat tax that's right yes yes. But you've taken up here you're on your mess but that's a very important part of the deal here right all right it's a solid lead based paints and you do want to have full protection on. Virtually every protection and here in -- situation like this where we're on top of a wooden porch floor and there's no big win today we can just let all the scrapings moments sweep them up yes well but on the side of the house -- such stuff up with a -- with a tarp to catch everything plus the neighbor's dog will be protected and cautiously picked up again today so nothing is found in their yard right. Now let me ask you about the the new work up here this -- pine that that. But Richard you had built especially to match up with the old clapboard in terms of the size of being in there how you've primed it. We use oil based primer which we feel inside the vast oil based or out yet that's -- out of place find out that primer why do you prefer that. It. Absorbed that are here fatter and penetrates the wood penetrates much fatter -- no longer last and then the finish coat of paint will be will be a light tax flat it. It breeds much better if it. Prevents. Large amounts of mold and no clue what we've we find that this problem here in Charleston you're. And that's what we've been going lately using latex paint we find that's the that's figures -- finished product I think it's remarkable that all this work is handwork."

" Down below there there just hand Sander right right we try to get them. A lot of machines that enough rotary grinder. A half because of the way these garden would -- that really can damage the wood you can see him and standing. Deciding after since grace she gets hand sanded and -- thin pressure washed to clean away all the loose. Now do you do you have to get it down for the bear bring to bare wood well and out of here it's better to get it down to the -- paint but if we have some paint that it appeared that if real hard to get off we we -- to leave. -- that funded well. They're lucky that itself was not off well maintained. For the last fifty years yourself yeah a lot of pain comes off until."

" Indeed over here you already primed it now do you do the same routine that we were just talking about with the new would have acted as a scrape -- It was then hand sanded pressure watched and after it's dried very well we've we've. Primed it. And you can see some of the holes that's. -- in the wood left for male thing that I got some big ones down here that I well these that that was where the shutter hardware was and I am we take. A water based wood filler. And it gets. Spilled into all the cracks. And this is kind of in conjunction with the caulking after the house has been caught and filled. -- the Soviet lightly sanded out and and the first finish coat of paint on."
