Fingernails, Hammy, that's what you need. Munch's "The Scream" was a picture of someone half-way through stripping wallpaper.

I've done it before using a wet towel and a hot clothes iron. Worked out well. It is time consuming though.

you said tit

wallpaper is like tile

sometimes the tile pops right up and walks itself out to the dumpster

other times you spend a week and a half chipping away at it cursing the day you were born

There is an easier way though- go hire a kid to do it and just watch him- how much money is your time worth?

Very true I will consider it for next time :wah:

Hamster is well aware that she will never repeat what I have achieved here, every room is a piece of art in itself

I never understand why folk have wallpaper in the first place.
