0 Tonyg 14 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 I buy your Sequoia you've had for a year (and an orange bucket) and I can't use the only deck I've done this year? I have 3 boring decks to do (one with Sikkens solid) and miss out on the two-tone deck I did a few weeks ago because I posted it here? Can I enter it at PTState?

I have 3 boring decks to do (one with Sikkens solid) and miss out on the two-tone deck I did a few weeks ago because I posted it here? Can I enter it at PTState?Tony, the reason we would like new pictures is so that people just didn't pull out some older pictures they have without making an effort. The deck you did a couple of weeks ago is a great picture but so is alot of other contractors pictures that were done last year or prior. I apologize if the timing was bad for you but it would not be fair to make an exception. If I allowed yours then I would need to allow every past picture. I do hope you understand as I do appreciate your business! By the way I said a new picture not a new deck :) Edited April 18, 2009 by Scott Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Scott Paul 164 Report post Posted April 18, 2009 I am going to change the deadline to May 17th. That is one month. I believe this will give people more time to pick the correct deck/picture to post. Alot of contractors are dealing with weather related issues as well.

0 Greg Rentschler 14 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) My Candidate for the contest. Finished with AC Cedar Toner. This was supposed to be the cedar semi but upon application the customer decided they wanted to see more of the grain and stuff. This house was a blast job with cob and crushed glass as it had permachink lifeline on it. Some areas were "layers" thick while others were next to nothing. Just finished it up yesterday! :D Edited May 7, 2009 by Greg Rentschler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RPetry 564 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 Greg, Wow, that is one terrific job. Perfect before and after project pictures. The stain is too yellow-orange in color for my taste but what an improvement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Greg Rentschler 14 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 Greg,Wow, that is one terrific job. Perfect before and after project pictures. The stain is too yellow-orange in color for my taste but what an improvement. Thanks Rick - I wanted to put the cedar semi on it but they (she actually) wanted it as light as we could get it after it was blasted out so we opted for the toner. The toner actually had a TON of red in it while it was wet but lost nearly all of that red undertone as it dried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Greg Rentschler 14 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 Have another log home we should have finished up by the end of next. If so (and if its okay to do so) I'll swap it out with one of the entries on PT or here. This ones a blast job of Cabot Solid Latex peeling like mad. Finishing it with Cedar Semi thus far.

0 Tonyg 14 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 Unfortunately I have one more small deck then its back to painting for a month or so until I can get caught up. It won't be anything good enough for here but I will post it in another thread when I do it. It will be a 50/50 mix of Sequoia/Natural. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RPetry 564 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 Tony, Real nice work, I like that color. Thought it was cedar at first until your 3rd pdf file with closeup pictures. Terrific restoration, you brought old, beat up PT back to life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
