Our house was previously a rental property that experienced some abuse from tenants. The owners had fixed it up and rented it out; only to have to replace the carpet and paint the walls after the tenants destroyed the place. I totally get the frustration of having to fix what you've just repaired but using a paint sprayer while frustrated really does no good to anyone. Drips are not attractive or easy
to remove once they've dried. The same rings true for wallpaper that's been painted over. Unfortunately, we inherited both as well as a million nail holes all over the room. What on earth were they hanging? I will always wonder…
After living here for 2 1/2 years and staring at the eyesores, I finally gained the motivation to tackle it all. Actually it didn't quite work out that way. My curious little 4 year old noticed a piece of the wallpaper peeling so he pulled at it....and kept pulling at pieces. He took most of it off and I finished the rest for him with my trusty knife from the kitchen. Hey, it was quick to grab and I was impatient.
