How to remove painted wallpaper 
I am going to be re-papering my entry, bath, and stairwell-hall areas. The old wallpaper has been painted over. How can I take off the old wallpaper so that I get minimal damage to the wallboard?

Re: How to remove painted wallpaper 
I would recommend going directly to the steamer method. I require less judgment on what's actually underneath and it will work. Let the steamer do its work. Give it time to penetrate, and then take paper of with large putty knife. At no time dig into the wall or rush the process. If the paper is dry, reapply steamer, this will be heavy work as most of it will be over shoulder level, be prepared.
