Next - I'll have to tackle the exposed wallboard..
which is to patch & feather
all the little areas where the paint & wallboard was pulled away
underneath the wallpaper in the first place.




This is one situation where priming before painting or re-wallpapering is
an absolute must. Doesn't mean you can be laxed on removing the residual
paste either!


yeah - I'm really over in another thread
about bathroom ceiling paint peeling off in sheets.

I'll use Kilz Primer around the room for any painted areas,
or just the Kilz Bathroom Paint.

That's not a good idea either. Kilz tends to crack or craze in this
situation (happened to us and it was a *mess*). This is a case where
a latex primer is a better idea. Actually, it would have been easier
to rip out all the sheetrock out of the bathroom and start over. :-(
