Hello everyone,
we have had a garden house for a few weeks now, but there is still quite a bit of renovation work to be done. Maybe there is a DIY enthusiast here who can answer my questions. I would like to take on the renovation myself. Since I am handy and have more or less some knowledge of technology, I feel confident about it. Unfortunately, I have even less idea about which materials I need.
1. The exterior facade needs to be painted (see pictures). What type of paint is suitable for this? Can I simply paint over it or do I need to do a pretreatment? What about the chipped spots? Do I need to apply plaster there?
2. The interior also needs to be painted. Part of the wall as well as the ceiling consists of wooden panels. Again, the same question. What kind of paint/lacquer do I need and do I have to do a pretreatment?
3. The paving slabs throughout the garden are in very bad condition (broken, crooked, worn out). I would like to replace them. In this case, do I need to renew the subsoil or can I simply lay the new slabs on the existing ground? I have no idea whether the substrate is suitable at all and whether everything was properly installed at the time.
