We are planning to stain the wood siding on our house and barns this summer.
Our home is a old log home with siding put over it about 10 years ago by previous owners. The outside has not been stained in four years.
I was planning to rent a pressure washer to wash the outside before staining but a contractor we had over to do some work in the house pointed out to us that in his experience pressure washing wood siding is not really a great idea as water tends to get in behind the siding.
I can see where he is coming from as there is the odd opening visible to the naked eye.
Any one have any thoughts on pressure washing in this situation and/or how to prepare the outside to stain?
