Wallpaper removal is easy. Well, maybe it’s not really easy, but I have good news for you. Yes, stripping wallpaper is messy and it is time consuming. You would rather do almost anything else. As a professional, my clients have often told me that if not for the wallpaper removal, they would have decorated the room themselves. It is such a deterrent.

While it is a hassle to remove, most people’s real fears center around damaging the wall while stripping the paper. It’s true. You can. I’ve spent as much time repairing that damage. There is no reason that it has to happen, though. Once you understand what is really happening below the surface, wallpaper removal becomes quite simple. Let me talk you through it.

First, KNOW that this is going to be a messy job. There is no way around that. Bits and pieces of wet paper, covered in adhesive, will end up stuck to everything that’s not covered. Fortunately, it cleans up easily with some soap and water.

We can minimize the extent of the mess, though, by taking the time to place an inexpensive plastic drop cloth over the furniture. Lay a rubber backed runner along the wall. Remove everything hanging on the wall and make sure that the furniture has been moved back from the wall by at least three feet.

Okay, now that we have prepped our work area, what’s next? We need to discover what “group” we’re in. To do this, start by finding an edge and attempt to peel the paper off. Here’s where we either sink or swim. Some of the heavy vinyl and fabric wall coverings will just peel right off.

Others will split, leaving a layer of plain paper on the wall. What happens then is that when you try to tear off that layer, it comes off in small pieces. A lot of specialty papers and papers that have been painted over fall into this group. There is a third group that we’ll talk about in a few minutes.

If your wallpaper is in the first group, the wall coverings that just peel right off, enjoy the rest of your day. You got lucky. There are different strategies we can use for the other two groups that will save you both time and money.

Now, for the other 99% of us, there are a number of different products on the market that we could use to remove the wallpaper. I have tried them all. Save your money. All we really need is warm water.

Start by peeling off that top layer of paper. What’s left on the wall will be a layer of plain paper and adhesive. Apply the water to the paper with a sponge, squirt bottle, garden sprayer or whatever you have handy that will accomplish the job. Use just enough to saturate the paper without water running down the wall and making a mess.

Now for the really big secret to wallpaper removal: WAIT. That’s right, wait. Moisten the area again and wait some more. It normally takes about 20 to 30 minutes for the saturated paper to completely soften the adhesive beneath.

Next, use a 6″ broad knife to remove the paper from the wall. It should come off easily and in long strips. If it does not, remoisten the paper and wait a few more minutes. Let the water do all the hard work! By wetting the wall ahead of where you are working, it is possible to move steadily around the room once you get started.

Now, about that last group. You’ve watered and waited and watered and waited. Frankly, this just isn’t working and you’re becoming impatient. The problem is getting enough water to penetrate the surface and completely saturate the core of the wallpaper. There is a solution. We need to break up the water resistant surface coating of the wallpaper without harming the wall.

Now you might be tempted to start gouging at the wallpaper or scraping it roughly. This is not a good idea. This is how you damage the wall. Then you have to spend more money because you have to call a contractor. You are also on his time schedule now.

There are special tools made should you run into this problem. I normally use a 36 grit sanding disc to abrade the surface by hand. NOTE: Using a disc this coarse with a power tool will destroy your wall. Make sure to use it manually only!

Rent a commercial wallpaper steamer. Steam passes through the perforations made by the sanding disc. It is absorbed by the paper and adhesive much quicker than water. Make repeated passes over an area with the steamer until the core of the paper becomes saturated and the adhesive softens. If an area is being particularly stubborn, try going over it again with the 36 grit disc to allow additional steam to penetrate the paper.

Don’t waste your time scraping at areas where the adhesive has not yet softened. I cannot stress enough that this is how walls get damaged. Steam the paper until the adhesive softens. Remove the paper with your 6″ broad knife. You should see good results with the steamer.

So wallpaper removal is not always easy, but nobody said that it has to be a painful experience either. Have a wallpaper removal party and invite all your friends. Treat them to dinner afterwards and make it a girls’ day. Or how about a contest with the kids. Always keep a picture in your mind (or on the fridge) of how beautiful the job will turn out. Be proud! Life is too short, so don’t sweat the small stuff. Now, let’s get going!

Outdoor home lighting is really a wonderful idea to highlight your landscaping during the evening. It is really a waste if your beautiful lawn would just be covered in darkness. Some houses have the four post design as a palate for the outdoor lighting which makes sense, especially in the suburbs where there tend to be backyards that need illumination too.

You could also have a single lamp hanging right outside your doorstep that would act as a guidepost when it is dark. It could make your house appear a little warmer and accommodating from the outside without having to deal with too high an electric bill at the end of the month.

By learning how to install kitchen cabinets, you will be able to save yourself thousands of dollars by performing your kitchen remodel yourself. And not only will you be saving yourself money, you will be able to take pride in your work each and every time you step into your new kitchen.

I will go over the basics for you, and once you get the general techniques down as to how to install kitchen cabinets, you will feel more confident when it comes to tackling the more complex aspects of your kitchen remodel.

The best way to get started is to get familiar with your new kitchen design, one which you hopefully had designed by a professional kitchen designer. Draw the layout of the cabinets on the walls, and try to visualize how the kitchen is going to look. This will definitely help you to understand how to install upper kitchen cabinets as well as the base cabinets. Again, your kitchen designer should have a two or three dimensional drawing for you so that you will have a better understanding as to what your new kitchen will look like once you have it installed.

Take a close look at the layout that you just drew on the walls. You want to make sure that the cabinets that have been ordered for your kitchen fit where they are supposed to. Check to see that there are not any electrical outlets or switches that might have to be moved in your new design, and make sure that the wiring for all of the appliances are positioned in their proper locations. In some cases, these wires will have to be relocated as well. Your qualified electrician will be able to move any wiring for you without much trouble. Just be sure that everything is where it is supposed to be before you start installing the cabinets.

The next order of business before you learn how to install kitchen wall cabinets is to find the high point of your floor. And by the way, before we go any further, it is always best whenever possible to have the new flooring installed before you start with the installation. Having this done beforehand just makes the entire process much easier. Just be sure to protect the floor during the installation process. However, there are two types of flooring that you will want to install after the fact, and they are any floating floor system or a perimeter glued vinyl floor. These types of flooring need to be able to free float, so to speak, and having the base cabinets sitting directly on them would not allow the floor to move as it is supposed to.

Once your floor is down, measure up from any spot of the floor against a wall and place a mark at thirty inches. Carefully draw a level line around the walls where the cabinets are going to be placed. Measure up every two feet and find the smallest measurement, and mark where that location is. This is the high point of your floor. Measure up from the floor at this location thirty four and a half inches and redraw a level line where the cabinets are going to be installed. This will represent the top of the base cabinets and will serve as your reference point for the wall cabinets as well.

There is a lot more to learn about how to install kitchen cabinets than just drawing lines on the walls and fastening the cabinets in place. I have put together a comprehensive resource that covers all of the details that you might encounter in your kitchen remodel, so if you are truly interested in learning how to install kitchen cabinets, as well as all of the other aspects of your kitchen remodel, then I invite you to visit my website below to take a closer look at what I have put together for anyone who wishes to install their own kitchen.
