I will be repainting my house this spring, but I would like to start stripping it over the winter. I live in upstate New York, but winter is not what it used to be. There are many warm days when doing this outside is actually more pleasant than in the summer sun.
My question is whether it is ok to leave the clapboards bare for a few months before doing a final sanding and priming/painting. My plan is to strip the worst off over the winter and do the final sanding in the spring to expose fresh wood before I primed painted. I would think that they would not weather significantly over a few months. Any
thoughts? Thanks for the help.
