My father is running into an issue on his recently-purchased house where the wallpaper was directly affixed to bare wallboard.
It won't come off. The paper of the wallboard and the paper of the wallpaper are now one and the same. He tried to paint over it, but the dark flowers and ducks could still be seen (even after 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint. I suggested he try dark grey primer followed by white primer, which worked, but he has one wall which now has wallpaper covered by 2 coats of primer, 2 coasts of paint, 2 coats of primer and one coat of pain. I can just hear the howl of anguish the NEXT home owner will let out when he discovers that architectural gift.

And, of course, that the knocking down bit is a hell of a lot of fun. :-) Also hadn't considered trim. For the first time in my life, I'm living somewhere that's got more than just some basic baseboard, so I can imagine how fancy trim could quickly become a problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:149058 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
