Hi All
I'm currently renovating a summerhouse which has been allowed to rot and decay. I've just finished putting a new roof on and replacing lots of rotting framework. New double glazed windows will go in soonish, so I'm starting to think about making the outside look better.
Ideally, I'd like to paint the whole thing a darkish grey colour, but I'm not sure what prep work I need to do and what paint (and primer?) I need.
I have no idea what preservatives/stains/varnishes etc may have been applied in the past.
It seems to me like the whole thing needs to be sanded down, though I don't really like the sound of that as the shape of the boards will make that a tedious job
Here are some pics, hopefully they'll help people give me some suggestions?
The kind of colour I'd like to end up with...
Cheers!
