Wallpaper removal tips and attic plumbing questions
A reader asks how to remove waterproof coated wallpaper using sanding or a commercial remover. Advice covers roughening with sandpaper to let remover reach paste, alternatives like repapering or painting, and notes risks of mess. A second question confirms pipes can run to an unfinished attic for a future bathroom, with cost considerations. A brief literary note mentions the 1771 Encyclopaedia Britannica edition edited by Smellie and its innovations.
