Sounds nasty. What kind of texture goes on walls? I would just
skimcoat over it all and start fresh if it has nasty mess on it like that

Our back (pool) bath was used by the PO’s daughter when she was a teenager.
It’s pained (badly) in some weird “seafoam” color with (get ready) glitter
glued on the walls using a stencil. That is, think about putting a stenciled
design about 8” x 8” randomly all over the walls. With the stencing taped to
the wall, you wipe white glue and over it and then toss a handful of glitter at
it, then lift the stencil off and let things dry. At least that’s how I think
they did what’s there.
We probably spent a couple hours using drywall compound sanding sheets, the
open weave sort of stuff, to level off the drywall and get as much of the glue
off the walls without damaging the drywall. Then I went over every one of them
with a couple of coats of Kilz, then hit each with spray texture to match the
original texture. I will say that the cans of spray texture, while not cheap,
do a heck of a job blending things once you get the hang of it.
So now I’m having to paint the walls. Finally. The last room of the house
(besides the kitchen) that needed paint.
Beats going outside, though.

I have spent 2 days trying to lay this pergo crap. First row went in fine but
2nd and 3rd row did not want to lock in properly. You knock one side in and the
other side would pop loose. I ripped it all back up and came to the conclusion
I must have some high spots causing it. Ended up sanding down the joints
between subfloor pieces that seemed to be creating high spots. Filled in some
low spots with leveling compound. Have to wait for it to dry and hopefully
tomorrow it goes it easier. Last time I put this stuff in it went pretty easily.
