100+ year old wallpaper smells - OHW
网页2007年3月14日 · It smells just like it did when we originally sprayed the wallpaper with the gel stripper. Why is this? I would think that with removing it, all the cleaning, and then sealing the surfaces with primer it would be fresh, but it smells worse than it did to begin with.

is anyone else like this?!? - Page 2 - OHW
网页2003年10月30日 · Am I like that? Nope, exact opposite. For 3 years been completely paralyzed & can't choose a paint color. Well actually I did paint the bathroom (most of it) but don't really like it (kind of a blah chartreuse). But then I am kind of leery about committing to another color for fear I won't like it either.
