Hi guys,
Going to repaint and cut out dry rot on the exterior planks of this 1920s house.
I believe they are shiplap style planks...Talking to the carpenter...he said i would need 1.5 -2 inch galvanize screws ...tar paper...and the planks.
We would cut and patch with new redwood planks with tar paper where the dry rot is cutted out....gaulk and primer base coat.
Question...water base or oil as far as paint would you suggest...heard that oil base last longer...
Any tips about replacing the planks appreciated...!
Measuring it...looks like it is 9 1/4 in wide...
Any tips appreciated...going to use a tall ladder...on this three story building...
Thanks Starrider
