" Here in the dining room we've spent countless hours and a lot of money. Removing paint and today's big day because -- put to pay back time here in the corner. America's rolling on and off white that the owner still hasn't approved but we think we're better do one losses you can take a look at it and of course these are new. Sheet rock walls that have just been -- so this is. Relatively new work. Let's get together with Rick Snyder appear on the staff. Hey Rick Qaeda can contact. Well you've got quite a variety of colors up -- that they -- confront. You know at a time after picking so much paint so much built up paint off these corners citizens reasons. And ornaments of these little -- I remember patty with a dental tool here working hours to clean them all up. It's a frightening idea about a meter back into."

" House yesterday as misnomer disputed street most homeowners are a little -- I apprehensive about witnessing here especially with -- Russian hands on -- like see it. They like to see it sprayed -- a lot of times you have to get down in the crevices and cracks. -- to get an -- detailed in Islam and caulking involvement we're just trying to get a contrast now between India. The darken -- anything of course keeping paint down to a minimum I like."

" The combination of the white with the Wedgwood blue I think the yellows. That you've got over towards the left. And -- the terracotta colors are probably a little bit too strong for federal."

" House exactly which is something that gives them an idea of how strong we can be between our lights and -- But I think icon like. Lean towards these colors it's -- itself now what kind of brushes do you is not how you make sure that you don't build up too much paint and I noticed you've got quite a selection of things including a Turkey feathers here well let's start feathers for some marbleizing we do with the the toothbrushes are good China bristle brushes and of course we have to -- good care of -- claimed -- But the smaller the brush -- the longer it takes."

" What about on the the campus leads up along the top there. There's a good deal of built up paint still on there that we couldn't remove. Well."

" And the way to highlight it campus -- it's just and we won't use -- common problem but just to come across like back to give you got a lot of contrast between the the grooves in the leaves as opposed to the paint that we're putting on the top which gives -- nice. Contrast to last just a technique with the Russian and very lightly going across the top of the relief. And that way you. You can highlight. Highlight it without remove all the paint to show you original detail in all of the leaves and and and processes and yet things to have well."

" Looking beautiful and of course I don't know what the homeowner really going to choose but next week we'll see the finish for all right thanks right now want to get together with. -- contractor Richard out in the hall. Hey Richard and about -- interrupt yeah. I know that you're you've got an interesting project here with the doors and these are all the original 400 year old doors. They are made out of Cyprus there six paneled doors than. The difference between these and says doctor -- is that we have this panel molding that frames each individual flat panel and in this -- Smaller -- yet another half indoors and of course they've had all that built up paint removed so than local more sand and containers going to do a great job would be."

" Well the the problem we have is we can't get its stock sort of match for our new addition in the back we want something that's in keeping with the rest of the doors. So here we've made this store on site and on site yes I mean normally have to have a special -- milled what what's this all about whether the easy thing about this is we just didn't stop hollow core door that's flush on both sides -- and all right then. And then you've added this stuff to it and this is just half inch by whatever with the rail we have a stop piece of molding here and that we get at the hardware store with the added. Paneling so you're just laying went out here now. It's real simple it's the simplest -- heat to the wit and -- and -- and -- place -- this -- standard half inch stock that you can go that you can go to lumber yard down here and get in some parts of the country you might not be able to find it. No but it's we -- siding yet. And right there and the solutions and nails the upper rail. There. And we can go ahead and clamped that in place that's upper rail. And it won't -- Well you'll be nailing understood guidance from what I've become back in just finished male the male and a place and then this rail. And it comes the departing rail and the top panel so that's -- and -- and we've cut some of the -- Individual panel more kind of what did you could put those moldings with well this is actually redwood but it's a stock molding we've got and it it's real close to our original moldings on the old doors and so that's what we're gonna use. -- that that in -- the secret here is that it's built on site as opposed to having to send out to have Miller job. Shop to get these things custom done."

Replicating Old Bay Window Moldings and Replacing Them
Replicating Old Bay Window Moldings and Replacing Them

Bob explains that the house being remodeled was built in 1921 and has never had a real facelift on the exterior. As a consequence, the home's trim, porch ceiling, decking, and windows were all in need of repair. Bob points out the oriel window's exterior frame that has allowed cold air into the home. To fix this problem, local carpenters were called in to tear it apart, insulate, and restructure it. Forester Molding & Lumber was then brought in to replace the 85-year-old trim. Bill Hopkins from Forester Molding & Lumber reviews how old house moldings cannot be found in lumberyards and must be replicated. Hopkins uses a needle gauge to trace the profile of the trim. The needle gauge is then placed on a piece of graph paper and traced. The profile is then used to search for available matches in the Forester catalog. If there is no match, the trim is scanned into the computer and a specialized knife is cut. The knife is then used in the machine to rip the molding.
