stuff snipped

It really depends on the age and type of wallpaper. The old stuff was
almost impossible to remove without way too much labor and damaging
the plaster or drywall.

Amen to that. My bathroom in a circa 1941 house had wallpaper that was very
much like that anti-tamper tape that only comes off in tiny pieces. It
apparently had bonded with the underlying plaster on a sub-atomic level.
