LazyDaisy Jan 2019 4:44pm, 18 Jan 2019 25,354 posts	0 LazyDaisy I have started stripping the wallpaper (painted lining paper) in the living room, using my new toy, a steam wallpaper stripper. Two hours work has removed one short wall's worth of paper, about one sixth of the room. This could be a long and boring job, but it's still better than coughing up the £600 the man wanted to charge me.
