We repainted the old house

Once upon a time, perhaps, the old paint was beautiful - blue as the sky. Or just an inexpensive, once the former owners chose this coloring. Now I'm sorry that I did a few good photographs to compare the condition of the house before renovation, and today his appearance.

This is the only picture of the winter, you can compare the appearance of the house after a laborious cleaning off old paint, change the windows and putty. It took two weeks of the hollow, and had to lease forests, because without additional devices was simply impossible to get to the ridge of the house. I propose to compare photos:

I'll tell you step by step how we worked.

The most important thing was to remove the old paint. After inspection it turned out that the house was painted twice and four times the veranda. All the time used the blue color, the verandah found the remains of brown and green paint, so that it was necessary to remove it.

We used in the work:

Grinders with special metal discs for cleaning surfaces
sandpaper
conventional blades

Worked with glasses and signet for zazhity eyes and hands - the dust was terrible, our pets hid at home. It had a lot of noise, but the result has pleased - almost managed to scrape all the paint.
First, the entire wooden surface carefully about primed, then went to painting. To repair last a long time, decided not to buy a cheap facade paints and paint Tikkurila acquired the Finnish production, specially went to the district center and picking color. I wanted to make the house more vivid color is selected fresh rust - as a result of a house has become like an orange, bright, beautiful. We now have seen from afar.

Painted in two layers, although the company's managers have promised a great effect already after the first layer. But soaked into the wood blue paint was visible, so that the second layer is still needed. Paint dries quickly - the next layer can be applied to a couple of hours.
I do not regret about the spent finances, I hope that will withstand snow and rain, exactly five years will not have to repaint.
