It’s always a question of where to stop and start a repair. Appears some poor repairs were done previously to the fascia along the front. Soffit on the return was rotten so that’s going to require a little more lumber than anticipated. Joists need some replacing as well…. All due to some long term animal nesting, creating a kind of compost pile inside the roof. Only one skeletal remains found.

Please don’t hire cheap painters, even if you own a rental building. If you own an older home or you’re thinking about buying one, feel free to ask me about an assessment of the existing paint and what you might face in trying to make your new to you home, as beautiful as you hope.

This building on Becher has been neglected/mistreated in the past and it’s new owners are facing a significant bill to fix some of the poor workmanship of the past. The issue here and on most of the trim elements is layers of newer waterborne paints applied directly to older oil-based paints. Bonding primers are one option but they can only do so much when there are pockets of air between the older paints. A quick mask and spray therefore goes from 30 minutes to 2 hours of labour really quick.

Since we’re already well over budget a quick repaint with a paint that will bond to oil has to do for now.

Having trouble choosing a colour? I’m no interior designer but my very fashionable late mother always said I had a great eye for colour. Always happy to help a client choose a colour.

This is Blue Jay from Cloverdale Paints, an absolute stunner with the wood tones in this room, but actually chosen with a couch in mind. 😍

The walls that are just cut-in will be getting sound dampening panels mounted to reduce the noise between seats in this new office space for a psychology practice. But just in case the ceiling line isn’t as level as the panels are square, thought we’d make sure to give the false impression the wall behind them is the same colour.

Final pictures of this long project soon to follow. My skin colour is telling me I’m overdue to start some outdoor work. 😃

Finishing touches on these windows means things are all starting to come together to a final finish. Still held up on a tile floor, and a desire to be efficient in each step; walls should all be finished at once to reduce clean-up and waste. Same for all the rest.

I think I’m ready for the next job; a set of storm windows and outer sash faces to paint on Askin Street, and an urgent repair of fascia and soffits in the Blackfriars area.

Just one room left to trim but tile is among the things I don’t do so I’m held up by that. Meanwhile caulking and filling and preparing everything to paint. There is an end in the near future.

Work continues at Becher Street with a focus on getting old and new trim into presentable shape for the client’s psychotherapy counseling business. Years of rental repaints with little proper priming led to bubbled, cracked and peeling paint here, there and everywhere. The windows could use another week of attention but that’s for another time; for now a little more functional and attractive.

Attention has now been turned to installing new trim with the door jambs to start. Lots of baseboard to mount to create a profile similar to the older trim with modern profiles.

Ask about my range of skills and services; From framing to final finish when asked.

Working away on Becher Street in one of London’s older buildings, built in 1867. Some truly beautiful trim in this building. My client(s) operate a psychotherapy counseling practice on the main floor and this second floor space is being added as the practice grows. Collingwood is the predominant colour throughout the common areas with the grey side of its greige being brought out with the natural wood trim that’s still present in many areas of the building.

1867. As old as the country itself. Appropriately, I’m using all Canadian, family owned Cloverdale Paints.
