Fortunately my plaster walls make it easier to remove than traditional dry wall. The trick is to spray the walls with hot water and let it soak. The problem is I don't have hot water in the house. Solution? Fill a coffee pot with water to let it heat the water up, then pour it into the spray bottle.
This is my running documentation for renovations and updates done to my first property. I wanted to keep track of my progress from start to finish, so that I can see the changes the house went through years later.

Scraping wallpaper is a sick joke
I finally got to the point where I had to scrape the floral wallpaper off the bathroom walls. While I wasn't sad to see it go, I wanted to put it off as long as I could. It's a monotonous job where you have your arms above your head scraping for two hours or so.
