Painting Station

This incredible siding we are putting up does have one extra step in the installation. This one step is nothing compared to how it saves in the long run.

When you cut the siding panel you need to paint the cut edge. The panel is factory painted and you use a matching paint for the cuts. The paint seals the edge and doesn't let water absorb into the OSB board. It also makes it so there is no painting when you are finished. Everything has the finish paint on it.

Putting up the siding will require a lot of little bitty painting. Much prefer this to the other option of unpainted siding and having to haul ladders and big paint cans around after the siding is installed.

It just that thin edge that needs to be painted.We err on the side of caution so each time there is a but I also paint a one inch stripe on the back side. My painting station set up is a board for the panels to lean on, a rug to protect my knees from the cold concrete, the little bitty paint containers, foam brushes (one for each color), and wet paper towels to cover the brushes between painting times.

I love being organized and Bill surprised me with this set up. This man does love me.
