Lawdwaz Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) 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. 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 Edited April 1, 2020 by Lawdwaz 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2012_taco Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdwaz Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 I’d have been on this at daybreak today ‘cept for Jack Daniels boys banging drums in my head. Damn it all... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Jeremy’s recommendation of the Dawn and water is a winner. Diff worked good but the fumes were rough. White vinegar and water worked fine too but the Dawn mixture was the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
