Moving right along... I've tried everything, and now it to the last resort....Sandblasting. First I tried some old glass beads...it was doing it, but to damn slow, and then I grab an old bag of sand I had a long time, and it was sort of working...then I look at the gun I had, and the ceramic tip inside was blown away....overused....so a quik trip to Sears, picked up a new gun, played with the jets a little...and the paint is coming off...
The day before I got fustrated, and started putting the strip on with a roller and scrapping it off with a long scraper and a new wire brush...it was working, but there are some spoots where the paint acts like it was baked on.
So today, when I ran out of the sand...I called it a day, and jumped on the lawn mower with a beer....and then took some more pics. One bush is at its peak for blossems...so it the main in the photos. The rhoden's are starting to bloom as well.

now to pick up a few more bags of sand this week, and I'll go to town on just blasting the house. Strip and blast...takes some time, but the outcome is looking worth the work.
