    David, I feel fer 'ya, man! NOT one of my favorite tasks, either, but I'm really blessed, 'cuz LOML really enjoys doing that kind of stuff herself! Heck, she really likes painting, too, so guess who does the bulk of that around here? I think you're approaching it the right way, though. When it's something I really dislike doing, but *have* to anyway, I try to get going on it and just keep at it until it's done and over with! Hang in there....There's only so much wallpaper you can hang, right?
    Cheers,

    I did it once

    Quite a number of yeas ago I wallpapered a room. It came out OK though not great and I hated doing it. It was a struggle, took me a long time, and was a major pain in the posterior. Since that time I told Sue that if she wants wallpaper in a room she has 3 choices: do it herself without my help, hire someone, or do without. This was laid down as non-negotiable and something I wouldn't even discuss. In case you haven't figured it out by now, I absolutely hate wallpapering. It's among a bunch of jobs that I don't like, but it's the only one I positively won't do.

    For the poor soul trapped into hanging wall paper this url seems to explain it pretty good.

    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.
