This is not my best photograph of day by a long shot. It's blurry, the lens must have had some schmutz on it, the lighting was bad, etc... But when your friends show up at 9PM to fix your walls AND bring you a freshly baked pie, it trumps everything.

Wallpaper Stripping Gone Bad

I was minding my own business when Paula casually mentioned she had an extra scrapper if I was interested in helping. So I did the honorable thing and started to scrap. As you can see I may have dug a bit too deep.

We have called a professional who will likely be able to figure out something. Hopefully not new drywall but perhaps a skim coat of plaster. The issue is Paula is hosting a home tour on May 4th. Time is tight and my name is Mud.
