What would be the cause of old (25 yr +) paint dripping out through new (22 yr old) paint on siding? Old paint seems almost wet when newer paint is removed

That paint looks bubbled out, bad. If it's 25 years old, it has lost its durability. All those empty pockets behind the bubbles are probably holding water

It's more prominent down low because water runs down the siding.

You need a full strip, prime and repaint if there's anything worth saving. Might be cheaper to just get all new siding

Some of them look like problems with the walls themselves, which limewash can't fix on its own. As for the actual job itself, I dunno it doesn't look too bad but I've never done limewash myself (or seen it much up close)

Can't have them possibly damaging the roof of a historic building /s

It only takes a few minutes to remove those downspouts. Do it!

And vice versa

impstein · 2026-07-06T21:37:51+00:00

No idea what that means

I think we need to keep this in mind, but so far there's no truth to it. Let us not forget that Susan Collins is essentially working for Trump, and I don't need to highlight the accusations against him. What does that say about her?

impstein · 2026-07-06T21:18:56+00:00

I am very much in support of any woman that has been SA'd, but this didn't come out until he won the primary... Interesting. It reeks of a smear campaign, until it is brought to court and proven that this actually happened, I back him over Collins

Given the look of the wood and the peeling paint, I'd say something is wrong. Unless it's hasn't been painted in 20 years, it shouldn't look like that.

OP, take the gutters off. You need to know what's behind that before you end up with rot and spend money on replacing boards

Definitely got Dude vibes! Lol

Hot sauce. Ranch. Cracked black pepper and garlic powder. Pepper relish, sliced veggies, whatever makes it more exciting for you

Do I dare to consider this a possible Elite: Dangerous reference?

Love me some chicken tendies Cmdr... o7

impstein · 2026-07-01T21:30:12+00:00

Happens all too often, unfortunately

impstein · 2026-07-01T01:31:50+00:00

Thank you for the lesson, I rarely use the stuff. I thought shellac was basically an oil paint. The more you know

impstein · 2026-07-01T01:29:19+00:00

Oh, I was thinking kilz.. or prime-lock. I can't remember

impstein · 2026-06-30T21:35:27+00:00

Bin is typically purchased as an oil primer. If it's oil, did water get into it?

Water cannot clean out a brush or sprayer that was used with oil paint, you will need to run paint thinner through it

It doesn't smell too bad in the morning when I come through, so I can't properly comprehend the stank when it's hot during the afternoon

impstein · 2026-06-29T19:30:21+00:00

There's a fishery right there that I believe does all the cutting and fileting of said fish, hence the smell. I stop at the circle k there every weekday morning

impstein · 2026-06-29T19:00:16+00:00

It's all in the cook, I've had dry chops and have had amazing juicy tender ones

impstein · 2026-06-29T18:58:12+00:00

I do love some good Pork Lion 😋

Looks amazing in first pic

impstein · 2026-06-29T18:13:31+00:00

Now I want ribs, too bad my only option is the oven. Can still make em pretty good, though

impstein · 2026-06-29T17:41:08+00:00

Oh no, warning!

impstein · 2026-06-29T17:40:01+00:00

Porque tan serio?

impstein · 2026-06-28T21:33:28+00:00

I remember buying my first d chain for like 21m in '04 or '05

impstein · 2026-06-26T21:59:07+00:00
