    Most of the outdoor masonary products contain anti fungus stuff - Sandtex type stuff - I recently re-painted mine with Woodies own brand & it worked out much cheaper & was great to apply.

    Unpainted pebbledash is a pain to do first time - you either have to 'stibble' brush it in, or use a sprayer. Sprayer is quicker, but very messy - watch out for neighbours cars !!

    the wall already has moss and stuff on it, would a power washer get it off?

    Did you use Woody's sprayer too? It's the only one in hardware shops that I could find, and I'm worried about starting the job and then the thing clogs? I'm also wondering if other 'sprayable' paints can be used with their sprayer as they all have different specs for pressure, particle size, consistency etc.
    I found a more delux one on handyhardware.ie but once again not sure if woody's isn't just as good...

    I ended up hiring a lad to spray the house, we were going to rent a sprayer but the guy who was leasing it wanted 100E for the DAY! we asked a local painter and he said if we cover over the windows he will do it for us for 150E! we will have to do all the sills ourselves but this way makes more sense. Not sure about those woodies sprayers, but i do know that you cannot use gritted paint with them as the sand in the paint wears out the tp of the gun.
