desperanceSay not the struggle naught availeth; not all my skillz are vanishèd.
Also, as I foretold thee, it looks kinda crap, by any reasonable wallpapering measure: just - as again I foretold thee - not half as crap as it looked before.
The trouble, of course, is that it's heavy paper that really needs a lot of soaking; but it's only peeling away at the top, so only half of it is getting soaked. And trying to handle half-and-half paper, and make the edges line up when the difference between soaked and unsoaked is measurable in severals of millimetre - eek. Also, one bit is being the very devil, as one bit always is. And yes, I do have to negotiate a corner.
And yes, the cats do keep trying to eat this interesting grey porridge. Somebody tell me it isn't toxic...?
