My house is up for sale and I'd like to dress up our back yard wall that faces an entry behind the house (visible from the street). I guess it's about 8ft x 6ft. It's currently covered in patches of old cladding showing a fair amount of bare brick. I'm on a very low budget and would like to find a cheap and effective way of quickly covering this. Any ideas?? Thanks!

Hi, if the cladding is in bad shape it may be worth while taking the stuff off. Then just fill in the holes and give the whole wall a couple of coats of paint. A wall that size shouldn't take long to paint. Just need to watch when you take cladding off that wall isn't in bad shape as the mortar may give and make it loose.

Great thanks. The weather looks like it's going to be OK. So I suppose I've got no excuses!
