We need to paint our house!!! We bought out house in '94.
Steel siding was put on in '60's or'70's I think. I was the classic color brown and was faded and chalked. Around 2000 we decided to paint. So my husband used tsp and did a quick scrub and painted a verdigreen color. Now it needs it again as it is very chalked. We need to do this the easiest and cheapest way but good way too. I have had heart surgery and my husband was in the hospital for almost 6 months last year, and is not working. We arein our 60's and not in great shape--but cannot afford to hire someone. We do have a power washer so will use tsp again--does paint brand really make a difference? We used Ace brand Royal laytex paint the first time. There is a $25 price difference in some paints and I am confused!! Help would be apprieciated!!
