Ah plaster & lathe walls covered in wallpaper, how I detest thee. I don't know what they used for wallpaper adhesive in the olden days but boy, it just doesn't want to let go. Then there's the cracks in the walls caused by decades of house settling. After two days of surface repair/prep/priming it almost seem anti-climatic when I sprayed on the topcoat in an hour. I picked out a color (Elegant Charcoal / PPG Diamond) and wifey said "didn't they have anything darker?". Now she says "It's perfect, I love it". So now you know why I left here home when I got the paint. I got to admit, it does look pretty nice.
Then there's the 30+ year old carpet. I got it up alright but I wonder if I can get a Haz-Mat crew to take it away? The good news is that with the carpet removed I found another electrical outlet in the room. Go figure
