How it was worked out

    What this does and doesn't tell you

    • Rough timber and bare surfaces soak up more paint.
    • Old paint may contain lead. Get advice before sanding old paintwork.
    • This is a planning estimate only. Check the maker's instructions and your local council's rules before you build or buy.
