Hi,
First of all thanks for this great resource. I built my deck a while ago based on advice gained from this forum. It still stands to this day, which I see as a mighty acheivement.
I'm now painting the outside of the house. It's a typical single-fronted terrace, complete with the dinky little veranda roof jutting out from the front. My question is - how on earth do I paint the foot or so of wall that's directly above this roof (but below the actual roof of the house)?
The veranda roof is curved corrugated iron, and probably wouldn't take my weight if I were crazy enough to try and perch on it with a paintbrush in hand. Is there some obvious painter's trick I'm missing? Do they generally just get up on the roof itself and lean over? Or do they dismantle the veranda roof to paint the wall, then put it back together?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.
