Hi All,
Ive just moved into an old council house with the typical outhouse battered and unloved!
My problem is I would like to paint the outside of the old grey building with a nice splash of whitewash but it has an problem before i start.
Someone has filled in a crack with what looks like cement and just left it, no smoothing over or levelling.
This attemped repair is about 3 foot long and is very ugly and I would like to know how to smooth it off or over enough to paint over it.
I think its probably been like this for several years so could be quite stubborn.
I think if I chipped at it the cement would fall out or the outhouse would fall down! So obviously I have to be gentle...
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!
