I don't envy the job you have in front of you :eek:
You need to remove what you can of the loose paper and then coat it all with either zinnser's gardz or an oil base primer. The primer will help to stabilize the drywall and paper so you can patch and prime without the worry of the moisture in latex paint of joint compound adding to your troubles.

Once the primer is dry, skim a coat of joint compound over the wall as needed. Once the j/c is sanded and looking good, your ready for primer [it can be latex this time] and paint.

Will you come do this??m I'm in Tennessee, 100 miles from Elvis's house.
I'm done all Im gonna do..

Wonder How murch it will cost for me to pay somebody to do it??
I have 3 baths that I have removed the wall paper
1 is 7x12 2. is 7x7 3. is 5x5

When I call somebody how to I describe what I want done.

I'm retired:D:D

When you call a contractor, just tell them you've stripped the wallpaper and need some one to repair the walls. As with any job you sub out, get 3 estimates [minimum] and check their references.

Sure wish I was retired and had the easy life. Some day it will be here..

WHAT If I get a big flat held grinder. Put a medium grit disk.
seems like that would clean it up???? Then Prime it
I want the easy way out?

I'm not sure where the retired and easy life meet up... maybe if I had been a big corporate crook :eek:

A disk sander would cause more damage!! It isn't all that difficult of a job. Once all the loose is off and the wall sealed, it isn't that hard to finish. You only need to apply a thin coat of joint compound, just enough to level everything out. If you apply the j/c neatly, you only need to do a little light weight sanding and it's ready for primer. j/c sands easy but does create a lot of dust but with a little effort it is doable by most diyers:thumbup:

And next time, do one room at a time.....
