Do wallpaper steamers not exist in the united states? I helped my friend remove the wallpaper from his old-people-inhabited house and we rented a steamer for �20, filled it with water and the whole thing came off like soft butter. Fill the tiny air holes in the underlying concrete and the surface was good to go. No tearing, no leftovers, no glue.

Underlying concrete? Not sure where you live , but I think it's very unusual to have concrete anywhere in the walls in a house in the UK or USA.

Plasterboard, plaster or drywall over wood frame or brick/blocks is usual.

He lives in the ground floor unit of an apartment building, his walls are load bearing for everything on top of it. I live in :geert:

, where either poured cement or concrete masonry units are common in multi-unit/multi-floor structures, brick-faced so it doesn't end up looking like a sadder version of the Barbican Estate (although those also exist).
