Re: painting over internal cedar walls and ceilings 6Aug 11, 2010 11:19 pm ummmmmmm that is a lot of work isnt it? no wonder the places havnt sold. if i purchaseat anywhere vaguely near the asking price..... i want to do minimal work before moving in and have minimal costs. replastering all those rooms seems like it is not meeting my criteria the houses are in immaculate condition and in fact over worked in terms of detail and inclusions. just this wretched wood literally everywhere that the owner is sooooooo proud of that will be not easily remediated for someone like me who is into neutrals always thanks trina Re: painting over internal cedar walls and ceilings 7Sep 30, 2010 3:31 pm ditzydame, the timber walls could easily be painted for less than replacing with plasterboard and painting. at worst the walls would need 2 coats of undercoat then 2 coats of top coat, all waterbased. there may be gaps visible between the boards, filling these gaps is probably worth as much as the actual painting. this would all still be far cheaper than resheeting the rooms. have you considered leaving the timber and rendering and/or painting the brick? Re: painting over internal cedar walls and ceilings 9Oct 03, 2010 10:10 pm i love the white wash look and my current floors have a floating floor of that sort of look....well vaguely that look. the white wash actually goes over the western red cedar ?? i love the colour choices on that web site i missed on that over cedared house but i have to admit that as attractive a proposition as it was......i am glad not to deal with the painting. however there are a LOT of houses in my area with smaller amounts of the western red cedar that would still need sorting if i was to buy one i have my eye on a house at the moment and if i get it it will one day have that white wash look for the currently yellow carpeted floors i have decided if it is available here . it is hell with a dog and muddy feet but i think the pale colours are worth the effort so thank you very much Re: painting over internal cedar walls and ceilings 10Oct 03, 2010 10:27 pm Timber walls are common in qlder style home, look up vj walls which they are called and you might find some solutions.
