They were flaking badly, looked awful. Lots of faschia boards and part of the porch.
One man clamboured up and down on ladders in this heat, scrapped and sanded down, primed the bare wood and glossed over. They look nice now.
Only took him 10 hours of work, though, and I paid him £385 for the privilege.
£38.50 an hour gross... is that excessive?
He wanted most of it in cash, too which I don't feel comfortable about if he's dodging the tax man (but I didn't want to start a dispute about it, either).

Did I pay too much to get my fascia boards repainted?
