Project #5 Removing WallPaper II

I love that just putting all of these pictures, it seems that it didn't take long to work on this project. Remember I had 2 weeks to do all of this, and just getting rid of the wallpaper took me 5 days, working from 9am-3pm sometimes 4pm. I am an amateur, I am pretty sure if you have done this all your life you would have finish faster. Way faster.

This picture looks gross but it was all I could found to protect me from cutting myself again. The corner of that tiny heater cut a huge chunk from my foot.

A Latina friend of mine was such sweetie that came for my help, and even though she could stay only one hour, that hour was enlightening. Somehow, she help me figure out that I didn't need the WP Chomp! sprayer not the scoring as the people at Home Depot suggested, nor hot water, nor any of the things that people suggest online or YouTube. All I needed was a bowl of water, and a sponge or a towel. The WallPaper on the condo was installed on 1985. 21 years later, I removed it this way:

1. Put on some dishwash gloves on. To help protect your skin.
2. Find a bucket (much more efficient than a bowl).
3. Fill half of it with water.
4. Grab a sponge or a small towel.
5. Wet the towel absolutely soaking wet.
6. Scrub the wallpaper top to bottom. It doesn't need to be hard, but it needs to cover the area entirely.
7. Let it sit for a few minutes and start pulling the wall paper. It works best to pull from top to bottom. It is great to do it with a paint scraper.

 What you see here is glue left. If that happens you have to use more water and scrub with the towel the area that has soap. Clean the towel and do it again until there is none left. This happened to me on the area where I use the spray bought at Home Depot.

It was a very exhausting job but very rewarding as soon as all the wall paper was done!
There was still a lot of work for me to do but I was happy and eager to see results fast.
Latina's out!
