Got the gutters down from the porch after putting up the new posts. With the gutters down, I'm stripping the fascia down to bare wood. Two layers of turd brown paint over "have a nice day" yellow, over primer. Heat guns are slow, but a lot nicer than breathing a constant cloud of atomized paint particles ejected by a belt sander.

What's a real pain in the ass is pulling on a loose piece of fascia and having come out with with an explosion of damp wood bits. And clearing that out and finding a structural 2x4 with serious rot behind the first rotten board. The porch project just got a lot longer.
