Musselburgh

Musselburgh is the largest settlement found in East Lothian region in Scotland, with a population of 21900. The town was in Midlothian up until it became part of the East Lothian District as a repercussion of the City government (Scotland) Act in 1973. Positioned on the coast of the Firth of Forth, the estuary of Scotland's River Forth, the town is 6 miles east of Edinburgh city centre. Musselburgh is described as 'The Honest Toun', which is commemorated by the election of the 'Honest Lad' and the 'Honest Lass' each year. 'Honestas', the town's motto, stems from 1332, when the Regent of Scotland, Randolph, Earl of Moray, passed away in the burgh after suffering a long sickness throughout which his citizens loyally cared for him. The new regent, after his offer to reward the citizens was refused by the individuals, who professed that they were simply doing their job, said that they were a set of honest men. Because of considerable local authority and private housing projects on both the eastern and western borders of the settlement throughout the last quarter of the 20th century, the town and its population dramatically increased. Musselburgh is especially well-known for the large amount of sport that happens in the town. It is home to Musselburgh Racecourse and Musselburgh Links golf course. The golf course has been acknowledged as the oldest continuously played golf course on earth, being a former venue of golf's Open Championship. There is also a football team and a darts league that draws in plenty of players. For all your house upgrades, make sure to make use of trustworthy professionals in Clevedon to make certain of quality.

✓ Clear all flaking or peeling paint. This involves scraping the entire painted surface with a scraper to remove all loose paints. For the paints that wouldn’t yield easily, you can apply extra pressure to wipe it out. However, it’s important to be careful while doing this to avoid gouging out or damaging the surface.

✓ Use coarse sandpaper. Make use of a sandpaper to sand all the exterior wall’s surfaces until they’re smooth. When you get to tight spaces and trim, you can incorporate a sanding block to make your job easier and more effective. Note that a smoother surface will make for a better adhesion.

how to paint exterior window sills and frames?

How To Paint Exterior Window Sills And Frames?

Painting your exterior window sills and frames can be a very joyful and fun-filled activity if you know what you’re doing. It’s a task that can be completed in little time by an experienced DIYer, however if you do not have the confidence to pull off this project, then you’d be better off calling in a professional for help to avoid costly mistakes. In this guide, we’ll take you through the exterior window sills and frames painting process.

✓ Prepare the window sills and frames. This includes, brushing the surfaces with warm water and gentle soap, scrubbing the windows to ensure all the edges and cracks are free from all forms of dirt, rinsing it with water and use a soft, clean cloth to wipe off any excess liquid and finally, drying it off with a towel or leaving it to dry off by itself before you start to paint.

✓ Remove any signs of moulds and moss, fill in the cracks between frame and glass using a multi-purpose filler, sand the frame and wipe out any dirt or dust on or around it using a vacuum cleaner, a clean cloth or soft brush. Once done, you can then apply a coat of water-based primer and let it dry off before painting.

✓ Painting. Firstly, you’ll have to sand your primed windows to make an even, smooth surface and apply an undercoat evenly to the surface. Once completed, you can then apply at least 2 coats of paint using a quality brush. Make sure you sand the first layer carefully before you apply the second to get a great finish.

✓ Once dried, you can the finish with a top coat (make sure you go for a weather proof paint for the exterior). For the window sills, you’ll have to apply the exterior paint gently with masking tape around the edges to protect the walls from the dripping paint.

How should I prepare for exterior painting and decorating?

Exterior painters and decorators will prepare the areas to be painted for you. This will involve washing and cleaning the area and making sure that it’s a good quality surface. Cracks or holes should be filled in. In some cases, you may wish to have rendering redone before the painting is done.
