Step 1: Scrape.
Step 2: Scrape some more.
Step 3: Realize that your scraping has taken off all 18 layers of paint in some spots and none in the others.
Step 4: Try to remedy the scraping issue by sanding.
Step 5: Self-diagnose yourself with lead poisoning and call it a day.
Step 7: Caulk and patch all the tiny holes, lines, cracks, and joints on the outside of the house. (That's a lot.)
Step 8: Buy more paper towels. You used them all cleaning up in step 7.
Step 9: Prime. Curse primer for getting all over already painted surfaces.
Step 10: Paint with chosen color.
Steps 11, 12, 13 and 14: Repeat step 8.
Step 15: Stand back and look.
Step 16: Stop staring, there's more painting to do!
The white trim against the greige (gray/beige, hehe) looks great!
