Bruce Peninsula Retreat

ColorScapes recently completed a Cedar
Cottage Restoration in the pristine western
waterfront area off Lake Huron.

Project Includes:

• Cedar Cleaning and Removal of Lichen by Low Penetration 45 Nozzle Pressure Washing
• Sanding and Clear Finishing/Water Repellent Coating Application 
• Sherwin Williams Thompsons Natural Cedar Advanced Water Repellent Clear
• 5 Door Sets Painting and Trim
• Deck Cleaning
• Window Cleaning with Methyl Hydrate

Before Cleaning.....














Great thanks to my repeat clients for this project :)

We managed to get some rest and recreation in while also doing

some very hard nasty cleaning/pressure washing

with an effective biodegradable cleaner (Greensolv).
We call it "Living the Dream in the Painting Industry"
when you get a project like this to do, but you also
appreciate how hard cottagers work to keep their
properties up and looking good. !

We prefer Greensolv as it is four times the strength of

regular cedar cleaners yet it is very safe for plants and

vegetation. It is very effective at removing algae and lichen
and restoring beautiful western red cedar !

The project took approximately 56 hours of
labour/man hours and included:

Painting Doors (5 Sets) and Surrounds
Greensolv Application /Pressure Washing for Cedar Cleaning
Clear Finish Application (SW Thompson's WaterSeal Natural Cedar)
Deck Cleaning with Vario 45 Low Penetration Nozzle/Detergent Broadcast
Window Cleaning with Methyl Hydrate

On a side note, We SUPPORT BANNING COMMERCIAL
WIND TURBINE DEVELOPMENT in this region
as the turbines will NOT be used to offset rising hydro
prices but instead will add to Hydro's revenue coffers
as they intend to sell the excess power generated at
a premium. There are plans for 275 of them in the
EastNor and surrounding community and this is
ridiculous ! The data on adverse health effects from
industrial wind turbines is also cause for great concern.
Check out the link below on the Plateau Wind Project
in Maxwell,On.

We are just around the corner from Hydrogen
Fuel Cell technology for both stationary and mobile
power needs which is zero-emission, small form-factor
footprint and can power up to 5-10 homes at
ZERO cost past the initial equipment purchase. I have
heard that California homeowners now have access
to this very safe and low cost technology...
think of a fuel cell as almost like a stationary battery
pack from a hardware store only slightly larger but
just as economical. Check out Ballard Power
from Burnaby,B.C. for more on these units.
Alternatively, check out Clear Edge from
California.....

Isn't it time that homeowners have a choice instead
of being responsible for "retiring" the debts Hydro
has incurred ? Imagine saving 2500-3000.00 per year
on hydro costs on an average home...may not seem
like much until you multiply it by 50 years !
