Help! We just moved into a new house that has one front wall covered with ivy. It's a brick house and the ivy is eating the paint and mortar right off. I want to get it all off and clean and repair the brick so i can repaint it. It looks black and nasty underneath the ivy and the little "feet" from the ivy need severe scraping to get them off. Any suggestions on what tools or methods to use????? thanks......

That sounds like a shocker of a job.
here's a website with a few suggestions. Looks like there's no easy way.

My Husband said the easiest way is to cut the stock at the bottom...when it is brown and dry it will pill right off...

I agree with Rita...if you pull it off while it is still healthy, it will take mortar/paint with it...
