Hi
I want to redo a room in my Cape Cod home. It has cheap white paint
over cheap light green paint over ugly wallpaper.

What is the easiest way to get it all down so I can paint it?

There are ugly lines showing through the paint, seams I guess. Half
of the rest of the house WAS done in paneling with no drywall behind
it. I fear finding that in this room too! The ugly lines are even on
the ceiling.

Tips? Steaming? A razor? Nu Wall over it? (worked very well on the
paneling upstairs)


You might want to try a Paper Tiger, a device that makes holes in the
surface of the paper so that water can get through the paint.
