Scraping the walls

In prepping the house to paint, I mentioned that we are scraping the old paint off the walls. Here's how this whole scraping the walls things has been working for us.

Step 1: While working on a wall we notice some issues with some of the paint like here


...and here


Step 2: We begin scraping around the small holes the we found to get off all loose paint.

Step 3: We start to realize that the small hole was just a start as the paint comes off the blocks in sheets and slowly start to worry that the scraping may never end.

(See this...it's the same section of the wall as in that first picture. That tiny little hole was just the beginning)

No really....seriously afraid it will never end.
Ever...
