My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    It can be oiled (gun oil) yearly to prevent it from weathering. The client has opted to let it weather with the elements. The rust does not drip like you would see on corten, but rather weathers in place. (It has been installed for 5 years and there is no rust bleeding on any adjacent materials)

    It was purchased from a local metal supply company in Reno, NV. It was purchase in 15"x30" pieces.

      Where was it purchased? Was it fabricated on site? How are you dealing with rust, more specifically "the rust dripping and effecting other areas? Also Merry Christmas.

      would you mind me asking how the gun metal coating was applied? did you just use gun oil and rub it on?
