We have an external wall that was originally painted in Moroka. It became faded and so we painted over the top in an acrylic paint.

Coloured sealer gone wrong

Thanks Getjason. I have contacted GetNewLook.com.au and their local representative is kindly sending me some samples of the Easy Strip 1000 and 2000.

How do I get rid of 400 tons of soil?

Possibly. An old tip close by might need some soil for regeneration purposes. That should reduce the cost. I'm crossing my fingers.

It's defintely free. A friend suggested we advertise it in our local paper.

Could I ask where you found corner stackstone?. I have found a place in Melbourne but would like something a bit closer to home (Sydney).
Thanks

Yes, you are right. It does look good.
Do you know if corner pieces were used or were they mitered? Do you know where they were sourced as well?
