Overview
Hey everyone, this is Lindi from Love Create Celebrate! We are taking on a huge project this summer and renovating our entire exterior! Our house is covered in painted wood siding and so much of the paint has been chipping away because of sun and wind damage, so it’s time for a change.

Make a Plan
We have big plans including, painting our wood siding, painting our window trim, building some kind of front porch, and more. But step one is to prep all of the siding for paint.
We started by checking all of the siding, and getting ready to sand any chipping or peeling paint.
Step #1
Prep Siding with a Wagner PaintEATER
The tool we used for scrapping the paint was the Wagner PaintEATER. It was made for this job and worked perfectly!
We just pressed lightly to get a nice scuff on all the boards, remove any necessary paint, and to get a nice feathered finish, so that our new exterior house paint will go on smoothly and evenly.
Step #2
Get Ready to Paint
We are so impressed with how quick and easy it was to prep all of the boards, and now that the really hard work is done, we’re ready to paint the exterior of our home!
