Than...Deb: Gosh, that sounds absolutely horrendous! Thanks for the tip, I think I've got mine under control now. My contractor painted over the last remnants of the glue and with many, many coats, it's not visible now. Thank God, if not, I'll heed your advice on the wallpaper steamer for sure!monlimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397210688200284987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-92198363007984475262011-10-21T09:19:58.916+08:002011-10-21T09:19:58.916+08:00I've loved your previous posts on education (b...I've loved your previous posts on education (but have never commented even though I agree heartily), but I really feel for you with the wallpaper! I've been through your pain, but perhaps even worse because the previous owner PAINTED OVER his wallpaper. That prevents water or wallpaper stripper chemicals from penetrating through to the glue :(<br />We spent 2 hours doing 5m2 of wall!! But then my mother and I discovered the wallpaper steamer and I think everyone should know about it... It hastened the job to about 5 minutes for 5m2! It also melts the wallpaper glue, which is then easily wiped off with a soapy rag.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdpLARNtKIA&feature=related<br />Best of luck for your house renovations and congratulations on your new home!<br /><br />DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09138570918290269618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-84545465793660587042011-10-20T20:55:47.641+08:002011-10-20T20:55:47.641+08:00QX: No mozzies when I was there and they're al...QX: No mozzies when I was there and they're always attracted to me!<br /><br />Mei: I saw your pics, your home is beautiful and I'm so impressed your hubby did the renos himself!monlimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397210688200284987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-22422065432947974602011-10-20T19:39:10.887+08:002011-10-20T19:39:10.887+08:00I feel your pain...I dread having to remove wallpa...I feel your pain...I dread having to remove wallpaper. <br /><br />Congratulations on your new home.
