WHO likes wallpapering as much as I do?

DOES it get any easier after the 4th beer?

It was just pointed out to me, that certain floral patterns have a
'This Side Up' to them.... WTF? I have seen flowers that pointed their
petals to the ground.... Okay, maybe not lillies... but...

Ahhh..... , the feminine perspctive when it comes to form and color. I am
familiar with that one.

My wife is a quilter. She buys fabrics and cuts the flowers out of it. So
she can put together quilts where every 3 inch block is a flower. Remember,
women just can't have enough flowers. (or chocolate)

It's not bad, if you don't have to remove the old stuff first. Once spent a
weekend removing the wallpaper from a LR and DR. Middle of summer and I was
using a steamer to get the stuff loose. Beer sweated right through me ...

No amount of beers can make wallpapering easier.

Wallpaper is pure evil.

I've never done wallpaper before, but it seems to me if it's pre-glued it'd
be a water-based glue and not alcohol based. Save the beer for drinking,
use water. ;-)

You haven't lived till you have hung paper using wheat paste glue. (Yes
it's water based)

Don't remove it. Roll it with KILZ and then skim float with new mud.
VOILA! It's like new drywall.

It's not hard, just a tad messy.

For the afterparty, hunt down a copy of _A Day at the Races_, (1937).

Wallpapering is inherently evil.

After about 1 roll I start speaking in tongues.

As long as you are papering an area narrower than the paper is wide. ;~)

Stop licking your fingers clean, silly.

Took me longer than that on a small bathroom. Then I had to repair
all the divots. Though I didn't realize it at the time, the paper
came off the sheetrock with the wallpaper. Then it took three tries
to get it primed and painted so the paint would stick. What a mess.


I had the same problem with that hallway. It took two weeks just to
get the paper off, then we realized they hadn't primed the walls, so
the sheet rock paper came with it. By the time we got done with the
hallway, we stood just staring at the bedroom, which was next. The
only good part about the bedroom was that they had only papered
halfway up the walls, but that still took another few weeks. What
should have taken a couple weeks all told, took a few months because
of improper preparation on the previous worker's part. I'd rather put
up paneling than to ever deal with wallpaper again.
