We need more Strippers

Didn't think I'd be back in Bournemouth so soon. Headed back into Frederica Road in order to do some wall paper stripping, unfortunately not the easy kind but the dreaded woodchip type. AKA, the wallpaper with nobbles in it. Dad and I had a stab are removing some of this nasty stuff a few years back and it took about a week to do a single room because its stuck on so badly. We checked internet forums on best ways to remove it and our top answer was 'move house.'

A more sensible recommendation suggested scoring the wallpaper and going over it with a steamer, this technique worked a treat after we got our steamer up and running. We hit a snag with out initial steaming/stripping unit so Mum had to drive around in search of more strippers. That will always be a fun sentence. We actually ploughed way ahead of our daily renovation goal due to how easily it all peeled off. I've been left here to do a bit more of the job tomorrow, with a bit of music I'm sure the job will fly by.
