Hi there!
I bought my house three years ago and it had been freshly painted. Cut to now - paint is coming off in sheets. So I started peeling it up. And then did what I thought you were supposed to do - pressure washed. Needless to say, I damaged some of the shakes and am going to have to replace them. For two weeks I've been peeling the paint off with my fingers and very carefully scraping, because the scraper seems to damage the shakes as well because they are ridged. This is a giant pain in the butt!
Does anyone have advice on how to do this better? I have issues with my hands, so I can only do it a little at a time, but this is crazy. I've been at it for two weeks and am not even 30% done with paint removal on a 500 sq ft house. I want to do it RIGHT. I don't want the paint to be falling off in 3 years, but there has to be a better way.
Ideas? The internets are inconsistent and it seems to mostly be random people. I cannot find anyone with authority or experience talking about this issue.
Thanks!
