Fugly, Meet Watertight
This week's rain provided the perfect photo-op for me. On the left, fulgy, unsealed concrete board. Notice how it looks as it absorbs all that rain. And, let's not overlook the old stains too. Actually, this particular corner is the worst spot on the Devil Queen since all the run-off from the porch roof splashes up on the skirt too. Gutters will take care of that problem.Anyhow, back to the comparison. To the right, one coat of tinted Watertight. When we are finished, there will be two coats all the way around the house. Still, with just one coat, it looks so much better. It is worth every cent.
The color used for the skirt, Clear Corona, will also be used for the porches, window sashes, and crown trim. Gotta match, right?

I like! Where did you find said Watertight, and are there other shades of that color?
Sarah,
Go to the Zinsser Website and click on the "Where to Buy" button (http://www.zinsser.com/WhereToBuy.asp). It'll ask for your address and the product you want, and then it will show you the closets stores that carry it.
Watertight is a white primer/sealer for concrete/masonary structures. It is tintable. Just pick a color you like and take the color-card to the paint shop and ask them to tint it that color for you.
Hope that helps. If you have any more questions, please let me know.
