I need to strip a large portion of my house as it is really dated, however it has horrible textured wallpaper that has been painted over a good few times, what it the easist way to get this off?

All Papers remove differently so it is hard to say how that particular paper will come off.
Some heavy texture vinyl papers actually pull off. If it doesent than you may need to seperate the vinyl facing from its backing than the backing can be wet several times and scraped. you can use a razor blade to start a little sections than pull it.
If that doesnt work you may need to use a paper tiger to puncture the vinyl so the water can penatrate.
There are allot of tricks to wallpaper removal and sometimes it is a process of elimination to find what works best.
The biggest requirement is lots of PATIENCE ! :-)
