Fixing and restoring an old pagoda

One of my projects this week was fixing my pagoda that broke (again). I’m not sure how it broke, I just found it felled one day. This pagoda is sentimental to me as it was originally my grandparents, so I wanted to do a nice job.

Here are the pieces I had to work with. The top and middle sections broke. Also notice how weathered and worn it looks.

Some of these fractures were from the last time it broke and I didn’t fix it properly. This time, I used Liquid Nails to glue it back together. I also used a cement caulk to fill in the gaps and cracks.

I used a textured spray paint from ColorTex called Quarry. It’s meant for interior applications, so I sprayed it with some clear coat spray paint as well. Here how the pagoda looks finished.

I think it turned out pretty good and it only cost about $20 in materials.
