Am I doing this the hard way - wallpaper removal?

[RadioNate]

removing wallpaper can be tough business. The modern preglued soak and stick kind comes off pretty easily with any of the above mentioned methods...steam, fabric softner, dif.....

Now old, wall paper pasted paper on plaster walls is an entirely different story. For that you are going to have to scrap in little bits. If it is on drywall and they failed to use any kind of sizing you may also be in trouble because the wall paper is stuck to the drywall paper.

I agree that hiring someone is usually the sanest option.

I can't wait to try hot water and fabric softener! I considered painting over this wallpaper, but once I did a test section I knew it would look horrible which is what led to me taking it down like I am doing now.
I am so ready to change this room. DS has been married for two years now and I am just really starting to redo this room now that he has a baby on the way!!
