Stripping... Paint that is.

I have been a stripper lately.  Not the kind you find in a dark building with lots of $1 bills and adult beverages.  I am stripping the many, many, layers of paint on the staircase. It is such a tedious job, stripping paint on the little posts on the staircase, with all of the pretty little details. 

Does anyone have tips on paint stripping?  I would really like to learn an easier way to get this paint off!

She's got her clothes on!

The back of the house.

The east side.

The front.
Our girl is no longer naked!  We have all of the siding on, except for one little piece at the very top.  Now, we just have to finish the painting, which will be very slow! I can't wait to start working on the inside, so I can start letting my creative juices flow.  There's not too much "creativity" to be had when you are putting up siding...
