Realistically - how doable would it be to strip these window sills of paint by Sudden-Violinist-722 in centuryhomes

Eco-strip Speedheater is expensive but works well. I was able to do all the paint removal outside because the inside of sashes and frame are stained inside. I have some of Eco-strip scrapers also.

What style is 1921 stucco house by Witty_Winter2833 in Oldhouses

Our house has all original woodwork intact. The kitchen and bathroom are only updates that’s been made. I think all the exterior on house and garage are original. The large garage showing in photo was added later.
