Brilliant work Jason. I take it that Azek must be PVC? You milled all of the moldings from Azek? How did you get the surface so smooth. My experience with doing things with PVC is that under the factory surface it is rather porous?

Nearly completed with this 1.3 million exterior restoration.

The entire exterior was removed down to the framing. New spray foam insulation was put in, new sheathing (zipwall), and all the siding and trim was made from new materials at our shop in Manchester, VT.

The siding is 5/4 x 6" Heart grade Redwood and the trim was made from Western Red Ceder. Some other elements like railings, balustrades, and pedestals where made from Spanish ceder.

There is a bluestone patio all around the house and the old Mahogany base and cap rotted away after only 20 years. For this reason we decided to make the new base out of azek. We took advantage of the pilaster locations and hid the expansion joints behind them and didn't make a permanent attachment from the cope joint returns of the pilaster to the base so it could move freely in different weather conditions.

(Many pics to follow)

Thanks Steve,

We use XLM primer on the milled parts of the PVC. That really helps the paint stick. After it was installed we use 2 coats of SW Duration. That fills in the pours very well.

I'm about to do some heating and bending of some milled PVC for some curved balustrades next. The porous condition you mentioned is turning out to have a set of it's own problems to deal with...

Wow Resta! great work again!

Here is the latest aerial photo from my school project. Biggest difference this month is that instead of mud up to our a**holes we are now sucking dust.

Great info. I didn't know that Sherwin Williams made exterior SW Duration. That's good to know. Keep us abreast on the bending project.

One has a 7' ceiling the other has a 9' ceiling.

Generally, they're not too concerned with stapling the wires above the panel on an upgrade as long as the cables supported within reason.
