The removal went very well and we will be painting the lids very soon.  The project has been a great success so far and we have had no major problems.  Some tape in the bathroom is heavily damaged but that can be expected in those type of damp areas. The peak of course needed the most repairs on the tape because some of it was falling off and some of the bead with the metal inside was warping.  We had to cut that to make it flat again and stick mud behind it.  The knockdown turned out very good.
