Hi all

I'm going to be re-painting a large garden shed for the chap for whom I
do a bit of gardening. (It's actually a summer-house-type thing, with
double, windowed doors.)

I need to strip all the loose stuff that's accrued (or peeled away) in
the c.10 years since it was erected. Then I will re-paint it with a
shed-paint of his choice. I don't need to strip the wood: tidying it
up for a new coat will do.


I used a pressure washer to clean and strip old paint from a shed. Need
to choose a dry spell and give it time to dry out, but it won't end up
any more damp than it would after a wet winter.



(I'm hoping he chooses something like fence paint, that soaks in, and
not the crappy stuff that looks terrific (and glossy) when painted on
bare wood, then proceeds to corrode over the years, leaving large areas
adhering firmly to the wood, and large patches peeling away.)

Best stuff is Osmo Country Colour, but it is expensive and the colour
range limited.

If it's like their interior products you can mix them to get your
particular shade... good stuff osmo.
