Anybody Paint Their Own House?

Wondering if I should do it myself or pay someone to do it. Here is a pic of the patient...



The red parts are painted cedar shingles. The off-white parts are just regular old painted wood. House is 90 years old. Not sure what would be involved in painting but I guess I need to do it now as some parts are peeling. Some people say I'll need to "scrape" the paint off. But that seems like a PITA - wouldn't using a chemical stripper be easier? Overall trying to figure out if it is worth my time to do it myself. House is in New England so I assume I'll need to do some wood repair - whatever THAT means.
