paint my house

I had the house checked for termites after the handymand took the rotton weatherboards off and the evidence we found is not active. THANK GOD! That would have got stupid expensive. So the boards have been replaced and now it is all up to me.

I am only painting the front of the house, the sides were done a few years ago. The handyman came and measuered the rotton weatherboards, so I can start sanding in ernest. I scraped last night – so time electrical tools.

oh my goodness the weatherboards being replaced has become the cement on the proch needs to be replaced because it slops back to the house and that is rotting the boards.

I started the preparation and discovered that many of the weatherboards are no mare than paper machie. I can do the painitng, but I cannot replace the boards – so, I had to ring a workman today to give a quote. This could be a can of worms….

I bought an electric sander to start the job – it has POURED with rain since, which is extraordinary since we live in a constant drought
