Scrape - To remove from a surface by forceful strokes of an edged or rough instrument

I can finally show you my clean windows.  This project was such a pain in the ass.  I used a total of maybe 3 blades to scrape off the hot mess of 50+ year old contact paper.  My hands are still dry and I have some scraped knuckles to nurse.  I need hand cream!

So we have two windows.  When we first moved in, I began to scrape with a scraper. It didn't much, just left small patches.  That little corner above my head is not bare, it's colored "mosaic" contact paper.

This is the left window.  I think it was easier to scrape this one because it never sat in direct sunlight.

This is where R bought me a paint scraper, look at the progress.

See that small patch there?  Took me 3 days to scrape off!  50+ year old contact paper + sun = impossible to scrape adhesive.

Here's the finished window.  I have to leave a little bit of contact paper on because it's covering a crack.  R needs to apply some epoxy over it.
