Hi Brian, the price for the work at your house is $18,500. The price
includes paint and materials. I will clean the trim where it is needed. 1
coat of polyurethane on all the trim. That also includes the bottom of the
kitchen cabinets. They will need 3 coats of polyurethane. Patch and paint
walls and ceilings. 2 coats on walls and ceiling. The dining room is going
to take 3 or 4 coats to cover. The job is going to take me 2 months to
complete. Call me if you have any questions to discuss. Thanks for the
opportunity. Gary
Spring Cleanup
Carlos and his crew from IR Full
Service LLC came and cleaned up the whole yard.
they brought down the broken tree on the other side of the drive,
cleared all the brush on the left side of the drive, and
cleared the brush in the back yard on the right side,
raked the yard all the way to the top of the hill and cleared the flower beds,
moved all the rocks around the tree in front of the sharm to the back wall.
They weren't cheap ($1,000) but did a great job. Best Spring clean up ever.

Future Projects
Swistrax
Tiles for the garge floor. $5.00 a square foot (expensive)
for 2,000 square feet.
Paint the whole house. My guess is $20,000
Hot Tub Filters
I don't know the last time I bought filters. The tub seems foamy even though
the water is not that old and we've been in it twice. We'll see what new
filters do (cost $40.00). Replaces Marquis 20092.
Garden Notes
The NYTs had something about milkweed which led to this page
Had two previous bids for $20,000. We'll see what he comes in with.
2023-10-30 - Phil Theeb
We accepted the bid by Phil for $8,700. He started somewhere close to November 15th
and was 99% done by November 25th. He did a great job and just has to finish
up some trim. We need to paint
I was feeling kind of lethargic so I decided to take on refinishing
the deck myself. I had tried to use a stripper on the deck last fall
but it didn't work very well. I had a belt sander so I sanded one board
and then wet it so I could get and idea as to what it might look like.
The image to the left is what the finished product might look like.
We'll see. It's just knotty cedar so it won't ever look great but...

It's hard work to sand on you hands and knees. I started with a belt
sander and while it worked I kept breaking the sanding belts. I ended up
buying a Dewalt angle grinder. The photo to the left is not
very good. The boards look better than the picture. I'll post one when
every thing is bleached.
Below is a small video showing existing progress. As you can see it makes a lot of dust!
Cold Climate Heat Pumps
Based on our research, the best cold climate heat pump is Mitsubishi's
Hyper-Heating, or H2i. Listed as Mitsubishi's M-Series or P-Series for home
installation, these heat pumps maintain their full heating capacity down to 5F,
and can produce useful heat down to -13F.
I called Wesson before 8, 8:20 and 10. They came out about 11 and got it
fixed.
Siding For the House
In July we sign a contract with Harmony Home Improvements. They started at the
