How old is the house? If it's a historic i'd hire an outside chemical stripping company to give a bid and do the work. If it's a newer style house and has Georgia Pacific siding on it, i'd tell the HO to hire a siding crew and replace it all with Hardie.

Give me more info

ok...the house is historic, I'm only doing 1 part of 1 side of the house...it's about 300 square. They have had continuous problems with this side peeling and cracking, so I thought I would bring it to bare wood, put a good oil primer on it and 2 coat it with PB. I have done a lot of sanding with a disc sander and can do it without f-ing it up (sorry). I just wanted to see what you all would do. Do some of you burn still? They actually did replace part of the house with Hardy at one point. This section is the East side and gets nailed with sun. I am kinda taking a chance even painting it, due to the fact that this prob. keeps happening.

Test the wood, if it's historic.. ie 100+ years, they used kerosine to prime wood, test it for moisture or you will always have that problem. Other than that, I don't suggest burning, if caught you will be shot on site. If it's on the sun side and it's bubbling within 4 years, theres something on the wood so your right in stripping to the bare... just gotta figure out what it is. Really depends on HOW historic it is, gimme a build date.. type of wood, how many coats. I did lots of these in Atlanta, Charlotte and Dover. If it's say... 80 years old you could most likely use a lead abatement primer to go over the paint... if its in the lines of 100, you'll have to find a chemical stripping company or buy alot of gear to take care of it. Touchy when working with Historic homes. Got a picture?

....obviously since I am the only one that answered your previous question, I'd not be consider a "top answerer" I suggest you give another look at my info though, and do about an hour of research online/google about this product/ similar products and you'll find out it is a pretty good solution. They have products that are used for safely (dont quote me) stripping lead paints, etc. as well.

What town and how historic?
Is it registered?

I ask because there are some specific issues with certain historical districts in my old stomping grounds in CT

Like acceptable procedures, colors, etc...

If you don't want to post up the town, PM me



On the actual problem, is it peeling from the outside in, or the inside out?
Is it on the shore?

I have been dying to try this on one of these paint failures on shake shingles I've been running across up here
I'd like to see how it handles these shingles

If you're smart, you'll have one made.

Most are based on a cheap, small offset grinder ($60, retail). The head is the key and most any machine shop should be able to kick one out for under $200 AND they will use common cutters which will cost much less than propritory cutters.

Hey Teetor
I've been looking at that unit and drooling, but all the while wondering if it was a grinder at heart. Do you really think a machinist could make it work properly-- Like go to the right depth and be adjustable and all that?

How did you come up with $200? Have you had something like this done?

Hope this isn't a stupid question...
