Greetings All,
MIDWEST, specifically cold winter WI, and mid humid like summers at times.
Thanks to current events I'm finally in a spot where I have more time than $$$ so I can finally work on some projects I've had on the books for years now.
Kiddos playhouse is falling apart and I will finally address it this week. From my woodshop class back in the day I recall stain or varnish helps wood be protected against the elements right? Bear with me as its been many years since I messed with any of this stuff, aka high school days.
Anyone got a quick guide or advice on how to proceed?
i.e.
MOLD - ?? difficult to see but at base of house there is some green plant like substance creeping up... how to get rid of?
Stain or varnish - which one and about how much?
Sand paper - guessing I need to sand 1st, but which grade or how much to sand?
nails - house has this odd square shaped "nails" that are about 1/4", is that proprietary or what should I use instead?
Liquid Nails - yeah or ney? Feels like i should use liquid nails along with the nails to make sure it doens't come apart again in a year or 2 right?
Overall just looking for a guide or direction on how to proceed here.
Thanks in Advance
