The Mildensteins Project, from 70's wood siding to hardcoat stucco...beautiful!! Kudos to Linda and Roger who helped every step of the way! I love making new friends :D

Stucco :D

So....I went in to a local material supplier for some supplies....the guy looked up at me, smiled and said "is this for a craft project?" I smiled back and said "yes, a really big one :)...Dee

Preserving a brick chimney that was defacing and leaking.

Remove the grass wallpaper, remove the acoustic sprayed ceiling texture, repair all of the drywall and install American Clay plaster and you have a beautiful room :)

Preserving part of City High :)

Guess where the leak was coming from :)
