[QUOTE="Atjan, post: 108714, member: 2323"] Too bad you bought before the new consumer protection act came in. With this covering up leaks and non-disclosure of defects does not fly anymore. With all the trouble you're going through it would have bee great to just tile....but then thats a completely different budget of job we're talking about. I also just bought a new old house and man! What looked great up front actually has a hell of a lot of work. And its costly. My 2c worth would be to take a scraper and remove as best you can all the loose bits, specially where it bubbles. After that some wire brushing to get the small bits off followed by a fairly aggressive sand paper exercise to flatten the remaining paint down. With this I mean use something like 80/100 grit sandpaper. You don't really need to get it all off, just to blend in nicely with the areas where the paint came off completely. Don't use something like the mouse sander, rather use some good old elbow grease with a nice sanding block. You get really good rubber ones. Then fix the holes and uneven places. Dry and sand again. Then paint. [/QUOTE]
