My job these last few days has been to scrape wallpaper off walls. Not at our house (we don’t have any wallpaper – a curse or something like that accompanies the dreaded wall decor??). At another house.
First you find the easiest type to remove. I thought the “mactac” type would be the easiest to remove. Which was true. But then you have to find a way to remove the adhesive. Usual methods (water) doesn’t work. A mix of concentrated cleaner and water was much better. With a few extra rounds of rinsing. Time consuming but the wall was prepared for the next step.
My favourite was the vinyl type which separated from the backing fairly easily. Then you spray the backing with water and scrape it off the wall. A quick rinse and you are ready!
And so my day went. My knowledge and expertise increased as the day increased. To say the least, I am now a medium novice of mediocre ability.
My fame is ever increasing!
I don’t think I would like that job !! What about enjoying your retirement ??!! I bet you could find better ways to spend your time. But if that’s fun, do it !
