We are still working on the purchase of our first IP - contracts have been signed but sweating on finance approval.
In the meantime we're planning the renovations and I'm undecided what to do with the outside. The house is a 2 bed weatherboard. Down one side is board, the front and the other side is permalum cladding from probably the 70s. The rear looks like fibro.
The outside needs a new paint job. The cladding has oxidised and looks rubbish and leaves white stuff all over you when you touch it.
Instead of prepping and painting the cladding I'm tempted to remove the cladding first and then fix and paint the weatherboards underneath.
Hopefully the weatherboards underneath are in good shape.
Has anybody ever done this before? Am I opening a can of worms?
