>> Jade & Casey - appreciate the sharpener recommendations too! If I don't sharpen as I go, we're likely to fly through a ton of blades before we are done.
I am especially thankful for the tip to add the small and special shaped scrapers to my tool bag. In my novice eye I'm seeing a sea of pink peeling clapboards - hadn't yet thought about those nooks and crannies.

>> Phil thank you for all the info about the cabinet scrapers. I'm intrigued to try out your suggestion for making custom shapes of them. DH does love his dremmel. As you likely remember, I also have a lot of fancy millwork and carvings to scrape. Might even adapt your idea to aid with my porch balusters. There are at least 120 of them to work on.

As daunting as this project seems, I'm rather excited!! I find tedious labor intensive work to be quite relaxing. It is like meditation for me. Guess I'll be pretty darn relaxed & centered by the time I get through this task.
