We've finally got round to starting redecorating the house we moved into
last year and have got a couple of questions -
It's a modern house with plasterboard walls. We've stripped the vinyl wallpaper with a steamer. This has left us with some small expanses of bare plasterboard, and larger areas of a coat of vinyl paint, much of which is smooth but some of which as bubbled under the steamer - what's the best way to attack it and end up with a smooth surface ?
We removed a dado rail which had been stuck to the wallpaper. Unfortunately, the glue had soaked through the wallpaper and in some places has taken the top layer of plasterboard off - whats the best thing to fill it with.
and finally, burglar alarm sensor in one corner of the room is loose and needs re-attaching. You have to open the sensor to get at the screw, but every time you open the sensor case, the alarm goes off, even though the alarm is switched off. (the alarm is a 'logic 400; with 4 key positions - off, test, part and full - we rarely turn it on, and its off now)
and thoughts appreciated
