Stripping


I walked upstairs tonight --can't remember why -- and next thing you know, I'm removing the wallpaper in the bathroom. Didn't plan it - just couldn't take it anymore. The best way I've found to remove wallpaper (I've tried all the gadgets and solutions) is to rip off the top layer to expose the bottom "paper" layer. Once that is exposed, wet the wall down with plain ol' water, wait a few minutes so the water can soak thru and loosen the glue, and then it will just come right off. The old wallpaper was so bad that Michael commented on how much better the wall looked even with the paper backing still hanging on the wall. Who picks out this stuff?
