2. Some of the peeling is down to bare clapboard.

Other areas are blistering. Some of the larger sections of the peeling paint are coming off in chunks, some as large as about 1 inch by 3 inches. This has been developing during the last 2 years. I'm wondering is either the painter or the paint itself was not up to par. There is an "L" on my house that was not painted last time because it looked fine. It still does, just a little faded.

My concern is damage to the spots that have peeled to the bare wood. I wish I was in a position to have the house resided but that is way out of my budget.
The scraping needed will be extensive.

Been in this house since 1969. Never had this happen before.
