Pressure washing, scraping, and sanding

For the past three days, I have been cleaning the old soffits, overhangs, and rafter tails. They've always been (American standard) a boring cream color, but sicne we have decided to have all our trim in an Evergreen color to match roof, these guys need to be painted/stained as well.

I guess there is just nothing as boring as scraping old paint and prepping it for a new coat, but everyone says that 95% of the success is in the prep work. I am just not in the mood to EVER do this again, so it'd better be done correct the first time.

Now it's done. Time for putting on a primer tomorrow.
