so the wife and I have a pretty old house that's in need of painting, and I'm in need of advice on a couple of things before I start picking away at it and making a weekend project into a year-long project.
I've been noticing that when I scrape around windows, or around the trim on the corners or at the bottom there are some spots where the siding is loose. This tells me from some recent experience that there is some rot behind it. Could I, for the sake of budget, time, and sanity, paint it caulk it, and keep an eye on it
Also, I suffer from the inability to stop picking at stuff like loose paint. As mentioned previously for the sake of budget, time, and sanity how much is too much when scraping old paint?
