    Best scraper for shed paint

    If I want to remove paint from a shed that is peeling, what’s the best type of scraper to use? The shed is wooden. Does it depend on the type of paint? Any suggestions as to what products/tools I should consider and where could I purchase these?

    Painting twenty fence boards in London

    I have twenty fence boards in my garden that need to be painted. I am located in London. How much will it cost me to hire a professional painter to perform this job? Also, I have a pet dog who loves to spend time in the garden? We can keep her inside when the paint job is taking place but once painting is finished, how long after should we wait before letting her back outside? She’s very curious so I’d just be worried that she might start sniffing it or taste it just after a fresh coat of paint has been added!
