Hi everyone.

yesterday DH and I were at the rental house most of the day pulling up old nasty carpet and cleaning. I also took lots of pics. I can't believe how nasty these people lived.
When the lady from the gas company came in to turn everything on and check for leaks I told her I was sorry for the smell and shape of house that it was a rental. She said she has seen a lot worse that some houses she will walk out of and tell them to call her after they clean.
We had to open every window because of the smell

I was

until we started ripping out the carpet.
DH did a search online today and found out the best way to take wallpaper off is to use vinegar and water mixed 50/50. Spray it on let it soak for 15 minutes and it peels off.

He tried it on our downstairs bathroom and it works like a charm. Start from the top and peel down, spray more behind any stubborn pieces (it will run down behind) and soak a little more. Take a scraper and any glue on wall comes right off. Wall looks brand new when done with little effort. We had to remove wallpaper from a bedroom that was here when we bought this place. used the stuff you buy in stores and the roller thingy, what a headache that was. The vinegar is a peice of cake.
So glad he found this out

We have a bedroom with old wallpaper we have to remove in the rental house.
