El Rancho

Fabulous 50's home is rescued by overly opinionated guy with too much free time and a gay man's flare for design. Woo hoo!! Grab a pinata and a stick - sounds like a party!

Labor Day? you got that right.

damn, 3 day weekends are supposed to be for sippin' on umbrella drinks in your hammock ... but i spent mine finishing up the outside of the house. i did a bevy of trim painting, painting of the concrete in the back of the house and repainting the deck:

it's a dark walnut or chocolate color ... i painted the top rail as well. it looks pretty damn fine if i do say so myself. and i do say so myself ...



towards the house:
it looks oh so fine against the yellow. 2 sidenotes: you can barely tell in this photo, but the base of the house on the backside was still the original grey color, but on monday (after this pic was taken) i painted it white to match the rest of the house. also, you only see some of the screens in the windows. not sure why they weren't installed, cuz they're all here. i found all the screens in the attic and in the garage ... and they look brand new.

so this upcoming weekend, i have a tiny bit of trim painting to do, some touch ups on the house and garage, putting down the 2x2 trim pieces i painted for the edge of the deck/house, replace to exterior light fixtures and i will be done with everything on the exterior with the exception of the tiki hut.

it's getting close, my friends. i hope to have the interior done (except for the music/recording room) by the end of the month and then you will get all of the reveals right here.

end of transmission.
