Howard shared that he had used Thompson’s Water Seal and had disappointing results. He’s not alone in being unhappy with this product. Few people use Thompson’s twice.
Howard wanted to know what I’d use if the cedar siding was on my house. Easy!

Watch the short video on that page. You’ll see the product I told Howard to buy. It’s on the hood of my truck. No, silly, I didn’t seal my truck with the product!
Forever and Ever House Paint
Three days ago, Mary from Cincinnati reached out to me. Here’s what she asked:
“I have a brick house with cement sills that have been painted. The paint is peeling. What kind of primer and paint do you recommend that will last forever? The house is 107 years old.”
My response was:
“Mary,
Forever is a darn long time.
Read this column and CLICK the big paint can that has the green label near the top of the column. READ the label on the can for the recommended primer.”
That’s enough for a Sunday. I’ll meet you back here next week.
