1870 house. stripped at least 9 layers of wallpaper and walls aren’t in the greatest shape. It’s actually fun to to texture. I’ve done it too many times to count.

I much prefer going for a walk on our mountain ridges, with my dog, Spot! I would probably even enjoy a root canal more!

WHOA! Are you sure those layers of wallpaper aren't what's holding the whole thing up in a house that old? ;)

9 layers of wallpaper? Wow. Ya sure the house is not paper-mache?

Sounds kinda like my house. I remodeled it a couple years ago. Darn good thing they used oak 2X4s, since the load bearing wall had the studs 48 inches on center (I kid ya not), and it had 7 layers of shingles on the roof. Started out just tearing the kitchen cabinets out to rebuild the kitchen, and the more I tore out the more I found that needed redoing. By the time I finished, the only part that was original was the floor, 3 exterior walls, and the fireplace. Woulda been better off just bulldozing it down and starting from scratch.
