Completed exterior weather boards and facia
These exterior weatherboarda were in pretty bad condition, not having any work done on them in 20+ years. The paint had peeled right off the weather boards. Pur process includes sanding, sealing/undercoating, filling, under coating filler, then finishing off with two top coats of the chosen colour. Sanding in between all coats is essential as it gives us a smooth surface to work with.
Hard work in the hot weather but a bonus is that everything dries very quickly and we are able to get the job done quickly.
Take advantage of the hot weather if you are looking to have your exterior spruced up 😊

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
