Exactly! It was actually kind of fun...until you got to the really tough bits. Egh. And we were covered in wallpaper dust/plaster bits by the end of the day.
I've done that too with my dad! It seemed like an endless job, but so addictive to hunt down pieces that hadn't been properly scraped off yet! ...And then we got to do it again after we stuck new plaster on, to make it more smooth. Gah, I actually know what you're talking about. XD
Awesome! This was my first go at scraping down wall paper and redoing the walls from scratch. G and his (and my future) roomie finished up the scraping today and are making the walls all smooth now, and G will paint them tomorrow. So excited about how nice it's going to look!
especially when you get a big unbroken piece out all at once. it's like winning a prize! don't breathe that dust in though.

DeleteI like to do that.... so much that I would scrape it off at school when I wasn't supposed to.
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I'm sure they appreciated that!!
