I'm tired of bad Chiefs news.....


I thought it would be a good idea for a thread on the Handy-Man.

Do you have any Home remedies, gadgets you've made, advice on car repair, home maint, sollutions to kill weeds in your yard, bugs in your garden?

Use Coke to clean your batteries? That type of stuff.
Home made floor dry?

I'd prime it. New sheet rock is thirsty.

Strip wallpaper without messing up the drywall? Paint is going on after paper is off. Crappy job but wife says I gotta do it

Paint/primer combo stuff sucks. Don't use it. Ever.

And the only time you really have to prime drywall is if your using a glossy finish on it. Throw a couple coats of eggshell finish on it and be done with it.

You're at the mercy of the person who installed it and the quality of the wallcovering. Godspeed.

Ugh. I've heard hairdryer, but son of a bitch I haven't got the patience for that. I've read a couple other techniques but I can't remember what they are. Do some googling and try everything.

Best case scenario is it's a high quality paper-backed vinyl. Then you just peel the top layer of vinyl off and soak the paper backing with water to reactivate the glue. Once it loosens up either peel or scrape it off. Then wash the remaining glue residue off the wall.

There are also strippable vinyls that come off real easy but they're fairly rare and they're still dependent on the wall being properly prepped.

From there it can only get worse. I've had a few nightmare scenarios such as one home where the builder installed the wallcovering over bare unprepped drywall with clay based glue. That shit was part of the wall, ended up having to paint over it which I hate doing.

Best thing to do is just dig in and start trying too see what you can peel off by hand and then go from there.

Looks like Thursday is the day.
would get this-they said use exterior paint because it gets cold here and the garage is not heated.




Also, can I use this on the ceiling or do I need ceiling paint also?

Same product on the ceiling is fine. I'm not a fan of Behr paints though.

They also have Glidden paints which I prefer. And if you're spraying raw drywall you'll want to have someone backrolling behind you.

Oh fun, Double duty. no one else in the house at that time. It can be done with me alone-in small sections.

You'll end up with rough areas, generally around the edges of the drywall joints where the paper is roughed up by the sanding.
