Hey everyone! I'm new to the whole DIY thing, and thought I'd better ask the experts before plunging ahead and ruining things! I'm wanting to repaint this old dog run:
ready for a new puppy. I have a few questions before I start though:
1. What do I do about all that green furry stuff that's growing on it? Is there some sort of chemicle I need to use, or do I scrub it with water, or will the fresh paint just cover it?
2. As the old paint is still clinging in flakes, how do I ensure the fresh stuff goes on smoothly? Do I prime it with something?
3. What sort of paint is puppy-safe? We aren't getting her for another month yet but I need to know she won't take harm from chewing it when we do get her.
4. Is there anything else I need to know that I've missed out?
Any help would be much appreciated!
