I spent the better part of a month getting off wallpaper. I consider
myself somewhat of an expert on the subject. And if I ever look at
another house that has wallpaper, I think it will be a deal killer,
or I will hire a bunch of aliens from Pluto to do the job.

My first house had one room with wallpaper painted over with a few layers of
oil/latex paint. I spent days scrapeing it with a fork and steaming the result
to get it off the plaster. One of the rooms in the attic had to be
re-wallboarded after steaming off the wallpaper with one coat of paint. The
previous boards sagged horribly by the time I was done.
