What did you want to know about it?
Wash the house first. Seriously get the grime off, let dry. If you paint with a sprayer use a large square of card board to shield areas from over spray. Don’t forget to spray the lower edges of the siding. If you aren’t spraying it, I like the paint pads, occasionally you can get one the same width as the siding. The paint pads can attatch to a wooden pole or an adjustable one. Keeps my feet on the ground, not on a ladder.my preference is to start at the high point, work my way down. Stray drips won’t mar the paint job. When dry, then paint trim.
