Tips: - When painting exteriors, mix several drops of citronella oil into your paint, and you'll prevent flying insects from marring your masterpiece.
- Paint applied in direct sunlight will blister. Plan to paint your house's west side in the morning and its east side in the afternoon. Paint the south side when it's most shaded.
- To freshen up painted wood siding, mix one quart bleach, one cup trisodium phosphate and three quarts warm water. Apply with a wide brush; no need to scrub. After 15 minutes, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- When power-washing your home, be sure to cover all outside vents and shrubbery with plastic bags or drop cloths to protect them from drainage.
- If a 5" diameter ball will fit through the slats on your deck's railing, so can a small child. To keep children safe, the slats should be spaced less than 5" apart.
