Hi, I am having trouble removing the wallpaper from my kitchen. I have scored the wallpaper and applied dif (2 coats) to it and the paper does not come off. I have no idea what kind of wallpaper it is but I must believe it is non-porous since the wallpaper is not warping or bubbling at all when I soak it with warm water or apply DIF. I scrape and scrape and nothing comes out except small shreds which I end up plucking by my fingers (nothing like what they show on the diy channels on tv). The wallpaper came with my condo so I don't know what kind of wallpaper it is, or what is underneath it. Should I go and rent a steamer? It seems to be my last glimmer of hope. Am I not patient enough? I have worked on this for the past two evenings and have made little progress. thank you

The bathroom in our home has very high walls - 16' in some places. I must get the gosh awful floral wallpaper (left by the previous owners) off the walls safely, and at minimal cost. Is there any way to do this ourselves? We tried an extension ladder, but it was simply too dangerous for either of us middle-aged folks. All the rental lifts and scaffolding I see is either huge or heavy, and we don't have a truck. I plan on using a long pole with a brush and then roller to paint, and will manage that, but the darn wallpaper must come down first (it's curling up in places, and there's no way it can be painted over.) Is there some kind of scraper on a long pole? I know I can't get a "paper tiger" up there, but I can spray with hot water using a garden sprayer (wearing my rain hat!) Any and all suggestions are desperately awaited! (Worse comes to worst I'll have to hire someone who has scaffolding and will do just the high places for us, but my budget doesn't allow much.)
