Howard Brickman has begun sanding the old growth Eastern white pine floor in the bedroom. Like the sunroom, the fine quality of the millwork from Carlisle requires only about 2 passes. The next step is the finish. Brickman is using Tung Oil from Carlisle. This will take about 4 coats to complete. Next Bob and Brickman head back to the sunroom, where they are finishing up. Before he can apply the finish, Brickman smoothes the edges of the room with a hand scraper and palm sander. Next, he runs a floor polisher over the surface and then vacuums. Brickman is using Carlisle Tung Oil here as well. He begins by applying the oil to the corners with a hand sponge then uses a roller on the rest of the floor.

Bob is back at our urban townhouse. He walks down the side and points out the two-story rear porch that has been recovered with asphalt siding, which, though sturdy, is also ugly. Bob meets with Carlton Bergere who explains the installation of the new vinyl siding on top of the asphalt. First the corner posts are installed so that the siding can be slid in. Then a starter course is put on the wall so that level is maintained. A bottom course of siding is clipped onto the starter course. Wood siding is installed one clapboard at a time, but the vinyl siding goes up much faster since it comes in eight or ten inch widths of three or more clapboards depending on exposure. Vinyl has replaced aluminum siding because of its cheaper price point and its sturdiness. Unlike aluminum, vinyl siding does not dent and it is colored all the way through. The siding is hung for expansion and contraction. When a window transition occurs, the window is first caulked. Then, a j-channel is laid against the casing to receive the siding, which is trimmed to size. The vertical seams overlap so that weather does not penetrate, and the siding is laid in one direction so that the seams cannot be seen from the street.

…Do not use steel wool anywhere in the finishing process except possibly after the last coat of finish is applied. If you feel the need to use steel wool, get a non-woven abrasivepad such as Norton's or 3M's Scotch-Brite.
