need more tips on doing the siding... we are due next year for a reseal of our cedar siding... two sides of the house are SUPER easy and two sides need scaffolding. we do have a couple of boards that finally split (house is 20 years old) and some of the trim work needs to be redone thanks to some carpenter bees

Shurline makes some good stuff. This is their applicator I used: 



Eventually settled into a groove of running it horizontally across the top of each board and then quickly backbrushing the bottom half once the pad starts running of juice. Getting it to not run didn't seem feasible/possible so I just learned to control it. Works real well when I don't have the pad on a 16ft pole and got some real good results when I could do it properly. I love the shorter Shurline pole too, makes refilling the pad pretty easy on a ladder. So far I've gotten away with just a 23ft multi position ladder, a 5-8ft pole and 8-16ft pole. 

The girlfriend picked one of these up "because it said stain on it" (lol) and it's actually been a lifesaver for blending and getting the underside of the overlap.
