Repainting A House
By Mohamad Ridzuan

Have you ever thought of saving money and repair your house all by yourself? If you are interested, read on.

Repainting a house takes a long of time. First of all, a house owner needs to know what type of paint to use inside the house and on the outer walls of the house. Using the wrong type of paint may result in a painting disaster and more money will have to be forked out to repair the damage.

If you are painting the outside walls you need to have paint with anti-fungus or anti-mould properties. This will prevents the wall from being discoloured by fungus or mould, which really make the house looks awful.

There are plenty types of paint to choose from and you can see samples of colors in paint catalogs. You may get them free at any hardware shop. Do you know that there are plenty shades of white? Sometimes, white paint may have a pink, lilac, apple green or even blue tinge to it. Some colours are glossy while others are not.

You use a variety types of paint to paint for wood, metal and roof tiles. The choice of paint really depends on the house owner's own preference. A word of caution, though. Make sure the paint you use is free from lead and mercury. It is environmetal friendly and will not cause lead and mercury poisoning.

Once the choice of paint has been made, you may get down to paint. You may use either a roller or a brush for this purpose. It could be great fun and at the same time hard work to repaint the house but the finished product is usually well worth all the effort. So, why not give it a try?
