Scraping Wallpaper
Previous owner Wallpaper is annoying, it's so tiresome to remove it!
... and remove the wallpaper I surely will because there is nothing quite like smooth walls, smooth like the skin on a young woman's belly (now if you're a gayboy, I'm sorry you'll have to trust me on the metaphor - because a man's belly, even a perfect 6 pac is hardly silky smooth)
Anyway, I digress, for scraping walls, you need wallpaper scrapers - even if you do use a steamer.
The standard hand held scraper is fine for a while, plus it doubles up to spread the filler over any cracks which the wallpaper was disguising, so you certainly need one of those.
The greatest tool of all though is the long handled wallpaper scraper, well maybe not the greatest ever, but certainly the most handy for this particular job, my one has a sharp blade about 6 inches wide that you can replace and with which I managed to cut myself - so I suggest you are more careful than I was.
Something to do with the physics of the leverage and angle, however no point being bored by the science of it, basically it is a lot less tiring being able to use both hands to push the scraper and it gets the job done a good deal quicker, so do yourself a favour and get yourself one - well do what you like but it sure saved me a lot of time.
