Painting a garden wall

[joemc99]

Hi All,

My new house has a white painted garden wall (inside only). It has faded now, and I need to repaint. What is the best way to do this, BIG roller with loads of masony paint? btw, it is a bare cavity block, no rendering.

Yep Joe. Tho brush down with a stiff hand broom and treat any green with a solution of thin housold bleach and water.

Happy rolling

Wait a bit, as the water will leach into the wall and mess your new painjob

Its a job for the summer really!!

Wait for summer, wanted to do it now as all the planting is low so I can actually get at the wall!

Also, friend recommends I hire a spayer, should use a lot less paint and be quicker. Any thoughts on this?

Paint it now it will obviously look better, but long term, give it a quick lick in the summer!!

sprayers tend to use more paint, and you also paint where you dont want, not to mention where the paint spray goes when the wind gets it
