Does the minor maintenance exception mean that if I drill one-inch holes in a painted surface to blow insulation into an enclosed wall cavity, I could drill 864 holes in the interior or 2880 holes on the exterior before I had to comply with the RRP Rule?

The exception is based on the area of paint disrupted, which in this example is based on the combined areas of the holes drilled in the wall.
