What happens here

The first hands-on task involves carefully removing the baseboards from around the rooms. To prevent damage to the drywall, a utility knife is used to score the caulk line along the top edge of the baseboards. Following this, a stiff scraper is inserted behind the baseboard to create a small gap, allowing a pry bar to be used for leverage. This technique ensures the baseboards are removed cleanly with minimal wall damage, preserving the drywall for future paint applications.

Goal: Carefully remove baseboards by scoring caulk lines and using pry tools, placing a stiff scraper behind the pry bar to protect drywall from damage.
