Thanks, Ginger. I'll keep all that in mind.
1) If it's paper rather than vinyl and not showing any signs of peeling, you can paint or paper over it
It's half down in spots already, so it is definitely going to have to be taken down. We're painting, not re-papering. I'm also hoping this means it won't be hard to get the rest of it down.
In that case, it may just peel off.

I am hoping so. We just did some googling and TCG just discovered the wonder of diy videos available online.
Peeling wallpaper is oddly mesmerizing.
I am introducing StW to the greatest college sports rivalry ever. Also, he's been offered a job here and is pretty sure going to take it.
DIY online videos are awesome.
Man, I just ate Vietnamese from up the street for the third time in 2 days. It is cheap, it is fresh, it is tasty, and it is easy. YUM.
A Vietnamese sandwich shop opened by me: [link]
I go there several times a week.
I have used a scorer thingie and really hot water soaked into the paper and that worked really well. I have also gone the fabric softenenr route and oddly, it worked better with cheap stuff than with Downy or a name brand. Not sure why that would be, but so goes the anecdata.
How does one use the fabric softener for the wallpaper?

Mixed with the warm or hot water you use to soak into the wallpaper before you scrape it.
