Congrats bama!

Nice birds Ron!

Hope your building goes well jem! 

I hang and strip wallpaper. I've done it for 30years. TSP will clean up after you remove the wallpaper. To remove most wallpaper I use fabric softener with hot water after either removing the vinyl layer or a paper tiger for paper that is only vinyl coated. It also really depends on what was used to hang it, and how the wall underneath was prepped. In the most subborn cases I use a paper tiger then the steam wallpapper remover.  

Yes!! fabric softener that's the magic trick isn't it!!

Peeling wall paper off is fun! I'll be right there!

What's that stuff called again... TRP.. TNT.... Can't remember the name... TXsomething... comes in a blueish carton (like a 1 L milk carton or cream carton), mix it with some water, through on the wall paper, let soak and wall paper just peels off. Oddly enough some grocery stores here sell it, not sure what the actual purpose is...

All you need to do is soak a sponge with warm water and wipe down the paper , it saturates the paper and then with a wide ( 6 inch or bigger ) you scrap it off . Putting a cleaning agent into the water really doesn't do a whole lot .......no disrespect intended ......use it after the paper has been peeled off to remove the glue residue . I've removed lots of wall paper being a painter above my other talents ( not Bragging ) and Luke warm water does it best.....just saying

No disrespect here either. I've removed paper for customers in a 5x7 ft. half bath that's taken 2 days to remove using every trick in the book, II've removed paper that's been painted over several times in a 12x13 ft living room (cut myself pretty bad) that took over a week, and I've taken paper down in a 20x25 ft master bedroom that's taken only 8 hours. Again it really depends on the application, paste and prep.

Wow , I haven't come across that yet , but have seen painted wall paper in a few places and I can't imagine what it would take to remove that ,, heard one person who just dry walled over hers , said it was cheaper in the long run then the labour to remove and repair the walls ? I've only had to remove regular paper so far .....doubt I'd attempt to do anything painted though after what you've said .......good info

Hey Amberjem! I looked at the Black Bresse eggs earlier and seriously considered them....until I ended up with 27 TJ's chicks hogging my immediate resources. What is even more attractive (to me) is the eggs are fairly local AND high altitude. BINGO!

Maybe for the Easter Hatch-along....

Lots of ideas for wall paper removal. this house has none, but lots of ugly paint!

Back wall of kitchen above and bedroom. Yes the entire bedroom is like that and the rest of the house is in those colours too.
