Well I never completed the blurb I started last week (just before Halloween) and I guess it's floating around somewhere in cyberspace.  I'll see if I can catch up.
So, the weekend before Halloween, we started pulling down wallpaper.  The first room in which we started is the little room that is going to be MY closet.  M had bought this wallpaper remover solvent at Menards.  (He was convinced that he wouldn't need to rent a steamer.) and he started spraying and scraping.  I was supposed to be scoring the wallpaper with this little palm thingy with spiky wheels in it--BORING.  I got distracted by a curled corner near the floor.  I grabbed and pulled and the whole strip peeled off of the wall!  Well, I was inspired at this effortless procedure, so I started picking and pulled another strip. Next thing, M put down his stuff and started peeling too.  We stripped that room very quickly! It was so easy!!!  We felt that if things continued to go like that, we'd be done with all of the upstairs rooms in short order.  Next room:  the center room upstairs.  Motivated to go.  Start pulling...rrrrriiiiiippppp!  :-(   Um, this was not going to be easy.  Get out the scrapers.  Score, score, and score some more.  Spray, spray, spray.  Well, this room took more effort.  The top layer of the paper came off, but an underlayer still stuck to the wall; and, no, it was not another layer of wallpaper.  This was all the same paper.  M finally caved and went to Waters to rent the steamer which did a good job of softening the glue and paper.  It was quite labor intensive.  M finished on Sunday, 10-28-2012.
