Sounds like my 1901 house in the big sky country. Plaster and lathe wall. Tough suckers, but boy is it a pain getting the wallpaper off. What has worked for 9 layers for you?

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: Authorities enter Eldorado-area temple
I posted it as that because....well, that was the title. You mess around with titles of news articles here on FR and you are violating posting rules.
Question: What is the upside for a FLDS woman when 2 close male relatives die at the YFZ compound?
Answer: Only one body. Your husband and uncle are one and the same.
Sure, rub it in!
Up here we have to wait a few more weeks.
I hate the north.
If you only knew......!
All good points but they won’t register.
You are talking to someone who said polygamy is beautiful.
Nothing. That’s why I’m texturizing!
The walls in my upstairs mnaster bedroom have a texturized green paint on them. I don’t like the gritty feel the sand gives the wall, but the effect makes the walls look like velvet the way light plays off of them.
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.
I do it with joint compound. no sand. It’s a pain but I like the look. Your walls sound beautiful!
Ditto. But summers are beautiful!
I hear ya. We have had the same experience. Things that were “remodeled” had to be redone. Everything was jerryrigged and half-azz. They had so much furniture/antiques in here that much of the bad stuff was covered up.
We’ve spent mega bucks and lots of elbow grease to get this house into shape so we can sell. With the market the way it is, we are up the creek.
“Well.... you WILL have ETERNITY to take of 72 honeydew lists!”
Oh fun. I am doing good just keeping up with one.
The effect is quite soothing for afternoon naps where the room is not completely dark.
Well, hopefully the market will turn around soon. My mother is a real estate broker, and she has seen it start to improve this last quarter, finally, but then we are in one of the fastest growing regions in the U.S.
WE MOVED from the fastest growing region in TX and made money on our house. What the heck were we thinkin’?
Now we are trying to get BACK there!
The bright side is that if the housing market HAS bottomed out, as the talking heads keep trying to say, it will be a good time to get some decent deals on houses whose value will just go up. Good luck.
He repeatedly argued the temple is a holy site protected by the First Amendment's religion clause, and that the state should have taken care to make a search of the building as limited as possible.
This brings up the possibility that one reason the mormons here are so vehemently defending the FLDS is because if this case is successful for the State of Texas and the federal government, the secrecy of the SLC LDS temples may be questioned.
THAT, in effect could end the practice of the mormon church of forbidding entrance to "unworthy" people so they could attend the weddings of their children, family members and friends.
An added problem for the LDS church would be that these "unworthies" who are members, (non-members are still not allowed entry) could no longer be coerced into bringing "up to date" their tithing donations, a requirement for a temple recommend to enter the temples. I think the practice is questionable for a tax-exempt organization, anyway.
A double slam to the LDS...loss of control and loss of money.
Explains a LOT!
