Thread Name: BS: How come dry-strip' wallpaper ISN'T?
Subject: RE: BS: How come dry-strip' wallpaper ISN'T?
Ah yes....wallpaper removal. When we first moved into our house 4 years ago, there was this really ugly wallpaper all over. So...it being summer, and still being homeschooled (I was 16) my mothers and sisters and I would sit around for hours removing wallpaper--and before anyone think this is a non-music related thread--WELL IT TOO RIGHT IS! I'd put on tape after tape...we'd be there for 6 or 7 hours straight peeling and peeling. Nothing gets my heart going like the sounds of Queen's "A Night At The Opera" and various Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals mixing with the noxious scent of scalding windex...plastic putty knives...spending a half hour on a four inch piece, trying to get "the perfect peel" without ripping the plaster or drywall apart...pure bliss...
