The pressure washer is a good start. Add a bleach feed if you suffer
from mildew, then rinse. Then sand down whatever is left, prime, paint,
sit back and sip a cold one!

Good luck. Painting is one of the harder and more satisfying (afterward)
of homeowner jobs.

As winter approaches here in the northern hemisphere, I'm considering
doing
some of the outside house trim painting I've been putting off for too
long.
A fair bit of it is flaking and peeling, so I doubt it will protect the
wood
from the winter snows.  What's a good way to remove the old stuff before
applying new stuff?  Belt sander, heat gun, pressure washer, chemicals,
or ??
