Nice work. So when you say the house was last painted in 2008 so you are sure there is no lead paint. That assurance would be only valid if all the paint was first removed and then painted. How do you know that was the case and they didn't just paint over the lead containing paint? I'm in the process of doing the same thing to my weatherboard Queensland so it's good see you do it first :)
You have done a FABULOUS JOB! We are soon to buy an old weatherboard house on 3 acres. On one side of the house the paint is badly flakey. We’re not sure what the best approach is yet. Do you have any tips?
Could you please explain what colours you used for which areas? So it was natural white on the weatherboards, then vivid white for the window frames? Surf mist on the soffit and/or the area above the windows?
Great choice off colours, on the other sides of the house do you think it’s worth hiring a treacle and planks, saves a look of time up and down ladders and adjusting the planks to each work area plus you can just slide you bum along with paint buckets beside you. Just trying to save your calves😊👏👏👍
Hi Steve! Thanks! You’ll notice at the start of the video we have scaffolding going up 👍 This side was so low to the ground, we were better off just doing it this way to save time/money 😊
@@SunshineStateHome ha ha yes I did see that but completely ignored the scaffolding. In my mind as I was writing I was going though what I did at my house. I got carried away😂😂😂👍
After sanding, I needed to remove all of the dust. It's a messy job and you don't want sanding dust mixed in with your paint. Scrubbing it down will ensure the paint finish is really beautiful.
OMG. I’m busting to see the rest of the house painted! Amazing work guys! 💕
Thank you so much Sarah! We're so excited to get to the front of the house!

Can't wait to see the rest of the house painted! ☺️

One thing I will say is check if old paint contains lead because that will change how you remove flakey paint

What colours did you use?
Dulux Natural White for the weatherboards, Vivid White for the trims and Surfmist for the window trims and gutters :)
why do you need to scrub the weatherboards if youre sanding? wouldnt sanding clean it anyway
