Chateau St. Roch Spring Renovation...



Jay constructing our scaffolding.



Jay and I have started scraping, sanding, caulking and painting the outside of the house.  I had one more room to complete inside but there was substantial moisture getting in from this side and held this as the next top priority.  We found the original shutters for the windows in the garage and have been restoring them as we complete each window repair.  We have been taking each window out as we go while we're up there on Jay's nice homemade scaffolding.  I had seen someone build one like this in the Esplanade area and Jay quickly figured it out.



Spray painting the shutters with Behr "Bayberry Frost". 


Scraped and painted the windows and replaced broken glass.








Historically correct hinges.








Replacing old boards with some new ones.




Priming new boards. Hoping to be finished this side before the heat of summer.
