Well Tommy today it finally happened, the wallpaper is coming off! 

I know this has been a topic of conversation between you & I over the years but late this afternoon the beginning of the end of my much abhorred kitchen wallpaper started,  The wife and I jumped in and as may know, the hardest part is getting started.  We did and we both feel great about it as should you Tommy. :)

I'll add pics as things progress but there won't be a big rush as there IS no big rush..........I have time on my hands.   :wacko:

The outer layer of paper off......

Hard to see but behind the fridge is where I started,  the paper and backing is off and looks pretty good, so far.  The "white" area to the left of the door jamb is ready for primer I think.  The are in "brown" is the paper backing, ready for scoring and the soaking with the douche solution in the upcoming days.  Stay tuned!!!

Happy Birthday Bizzy!!  LOL

I spent a summer working with a wallpaper guy , dawn dish soap and water from a spray bottle is all we ever used to take old paper down , quick coat of primer and new paper over that.

Hmmmmmm

I to am glad the misses doesn't frequent this site! She has mentioned that she believes it's time to paint the liv rm and dining rooms. Last time we/I painted it, it got painted 3x! Someone kept changing her mind as to what color it should be. I honestly can not do that again. 

Larry, glad to see that paper coming down. Get er done!
