    Hi I'm thinking of painting the exterior of my house which is a standard 3 bed semi-d in northside Dublin. I'm just wondering though is it getting too late for it now seeing as it's getting colder and will probably be raining quite a bit. Would I be better leaving it until the Spring?

    Well it says on the tub 4-6 hours at temperatures above 10 deg. and outside of damp or humid conditions.
    On the other hand I would have thought a breezy day and whether you're facing South or not would come into it too.
    I managed to paint the (sun facing) front of my house in the middle of last winter's big freeze by doing a bit at a time but I don't know if I sacrificed the length of time it will last for the convenience of getting the job done when I wanted to do it.
