Our 1940s weatherboard home was repainted not long before we purchased it, so about 11 or 12 years ago. I believe at the time they stripped it right back before painting (that's what they said anyway).
It's at the point now where there are some boards that are starting to peel, but I don't think bad enough to require a full repaint of the house.
Our plan is to sand and repaint only the boards that need it.
I have a random orbit sander, but would a belt sander be a better choice for making shorter work of exterior weatherboards?
Thanks
