I'm old fashioned. You could use a chain saw, though, or a sawzall.

Too quick and merciful, that's what.
I recently purchased 52 year old house that has nice wood windows. The
previous owner did a lousy paint job, letting the wall roller slop against
the varnished wood window trim. Apparently, the moron had never heard of a
wet paper towel to wipe off over-paint.
How could anyone be so stunningly stupid and half-assed? Anyway, true to
form he had the house only a few years and then he let it get repossessed.
Then I got it cheap from HUD. But I'll still curse him plenty as I sand
off the old hard over-paint.

We had to paint the whole interior of our new house. I rented a good sized
sprayer from Home Depot..it did a great job.
I had borrowed a Campbell Hausfield 3/4 HP sprayer from a neighbor to do our
previous house. I put 120 gallons (in 5's) thru that one for exterior
(stucco) and interior.
Your shoulder needs some TLC after though.

Well, what was the "technology" of the sprayer?
Was it run on air or what?

Again, was that a "pump" type sprayer?
