Just over a year later... how did we do?
I went back to have a look at this sign recently, just over a year since we finished restoring it. Considering it sits out there 24/7 taking the full brunt of the British weather, and the summer and winter we've had, I'm genuinely really pleased with how it's holding up.
The Rubio DuroGrit has done an amazing job on the timber.
The Cerakote ceramic coating we used on the copper roof is still looking pretty much like the day we finished it too.
This was probably one of the most unusual restoration jobs we've taken on. Lots of repairs, plenty of head-scratching, and FAR too much time spent painting tiny crowns 😂
But I think the before, during, finished and one-year-later pictures speak for themselves.
How do you think it's holding up?
