Grouting the Bungalow

There are always projects at the Painted Pony Resort that require attention.  Recent activity centered around the bungalow.  The grouting in the bathroom needed attention and so after collecting materials work began.  First cleaning out the old grout around the sunken bath and along the edges.  Then adding new grout to the cleaned areas.  Some of the grouting around the walls and sinks also required replacement.  Since this was indoor work, Roadie did not help.

Caulking the Vigas

As noted in an earlier post, the exterior woodwork on the bungalow is re-stained so resealing the posts and vigas rose to the top of the list.  The vigas had shrunk and pulled away from the surrounding stucco requiring resealing.  In addition the wood had split along the grain requiring additional filler. Finished off the first case of DAP ceder tan caulk Monday afternoon but still have about half a dozen vigas remaining on the bungalow that require caulk.  The results are worth the effort though, the building looks really good.

The vigas have shrunk pulling away from the stucco leaving a quarter inch gap around the beam.

Painting the Painted Pony Resort

Always work to get done at PPR (Painted Pony Resort). Finished re-staining all the exposed exterior woodwork on the bungalow. The original finish weathered quickly and the exposed wood needed to be resealed.  About 5 gallons of Bear premium stain was used to cover the exposed wood and lots of time spent going up and down the ladder.

Painted Pony Resort, The Bungalow

The bungalow at the painted pony resort is a spacious 1 bedroom with a custom king sized bed that is 8' square. The closet and bath match the bedroom in size with a raised tub for 2 and a double walk in shower. Not many people have seen this creation from the mind of the former owner, a silicon valley software entrepreneur, who designed the estate, but here is a photosynth of which allows you to navigate through the building giving you a first hand view.
