  1. My guess was 20 penny nails but before trying to pry the braces off I wanted to know what to expect. Some of them are at attic level so will be a mean feat to get the purchase required. Been kept in place for a over 100 years so must be really affixed.
  2. Wanting to remove original knee braces / gable brackets and fascia from 1910 craftsman house in order to remove layers of lead paint. No evidence brackets ever detached - original cedar lumber. Cannot see any lag bolts. Any advice on removal technique and how to limit damage to surrounding shingles?
