DIY part X+1 of Y
This might take a while.
I've spent the afternoon stripping wallpaper off the wall with the aid of a steamer. Still making remarkably slow progress. While there is thankfully only one layer of wallpaper on the walls (except around the radiator), the plaster is every bit as bad as I feared, and I think I'm about to discover 140 years of neglect and stupidity in action, especially as I uncover where the fireplace used to be.
On the one hand, it's not that surprising to find out I can't do much in one go. On the other hand, it's annoying and makes me feel somewhat useless.
