My hatred of white gloss holds no end, unfortunately the previous owners loved the stuff! It is every where! And as we are wanting to turn the whole house upsidedown and strip it right back to it's roots and start again for as little cost as possible, I'm taking on all the work I can and starting by getting rid of this gloss!
It covers every door, skirting board, dado railing, windowsill, stair case... you're getting the picture! In the past I have simply scrapped it off and peeled it with some elbow grease and painted over, but that was on flat surfaces with already peeling old paint.
I am unsure of how to go about this project, it was painted less than a year ago and as you can see from the picture there's some tight corners etc, and the paint is very thick! I am wanting the wood underneath in perfect condition as it will all be getting stained and left as is. Obviously I'd prefer a quicker method than sanding down by hand as there's so much to do, but the main concern is having the wood underneath un harmed! Any replacing is going to cost.
Any help or advise would be muchly appreciated
