rabidmonkey Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Someone down the street took it from us. It worked like a charm but didn't suit the new kitchen. It was awesome though, it had a rotisserie setup sticking out of the back of the oven. Never used it but it still cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Excellent work. I'm a fan of painted brick done tastefully, and the exterior looks really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabidmonkey Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Jaimoe - that's real brick my friend. It's the old exterior wall of the house. We striped it all down, repointed it and sealed it. It took forever (150 hours total) and we love it. If I ever find a brick wall in a house again, the first thing I will do is cover it up.

Jaimoe Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I know it's real brick. I like painted brick when it's done right, which is why I like what you've done. I'm also a big fan of attached and row houses. It's smart density. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol'Hickster Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Ewww painted brick! Totally gross, but on a other note if you guys need help with pointing a masonary work ill always lend a hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) I've also seen disasterous examples of painted brick. However, there are several good examples of painted brick in my neighbourhood of Riverdale. I've also seen houses in need of painted brick because the brick itself looks terrible the way it is. But stucco almost always sucks. Edited February 22, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol'Hickster Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I would strongly not recomend any sealers pr paint because Masonrys worst enemy is water, and mosonry is designed to allow water to pass threw and such But when you seal brick with piant or sealer you then are not letting the water to naturally come out of the masonry so the freeze and thaw and re freeze happenes all that is within the masonry and this will cause joints to erodes faster, Bricks to spald, crack and break, Im usually not good at explainging by typing but the basic moral is Let water enter and be released insted of let water be entered and not be repeased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabidmonkey Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Jaimoe - I misunderstood, I thought that you thought we had painted the inside brick wall onto the wall (I had people call and ask if it was painted, wallpaper, or real)The outside was painted already, a horrible red-orange, so we repainted a slight more appealing colour.

KleinPP Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Well, it looked good and now even nicer. Great job! I decided to renovate my house too. No photos yet because the work's started just recently. But I started with walls outside and a roof. I decided to use siding http://sidinginvancouver.com/siding-cost.html. I think it'll look awesome.
