It really is fun. I just wish I had time to get more done. By tomorrow I should be up to the point where I can't reach any more. It was slow at first but as soon as I found this state-of-the-art wallpaper stripper, I'm making good time. 
Once you wet it down with my secret formula wallpaper removal mixture (water in an old Windex bottle), it just peels off so easily. It's hard to tear myself away sometimes.

The stick might just allow me to reach the ceiling, but then I have to worry about how I'm going to mask the ceiling to paint. It will probably take me a few months to make the big decision about what color to paint and whether to put up that bead-board wallpaper beneath the chair rail that is not there yet.
My inquiries (through Emily) to my very good carpenter son-in-law about how hard it would be to put up a chair rail myself were met with much laughter and an emphatic, "VERY." Probably some eye rolling and more laughter. So I might not do that. Or ... I might.
