I didnt think it would be such a big job until I got started. I realized I
would have to remove the wallpaper but this was going to happen soon anyway.
What I didnt know was how difficult it would be. I tried enzyme strippers
and steam and wrestled with it for 2 days. I couldnt find anything that
would take off this wall paper so I just took down the sheetrock and edid
it. What could make removing wallpapare so difficult? My wife and I decided
someone put it up with carpenters glue.

Wallpaper on the ceiling?

No but I cant repair where the ceiling meets the wall without stipping
the paper.
