My husband and I have recently purchased a used mobile home. A fixer-upper.
Evidently......there used to be two mirrors glued to the living room wall. One is still intact. The other it seems was broken and pieces of the mirror remain stuck to the wall.
How can we remove them without doing anymore damage to the wall, and at very little cost to us.

Some damage is inevitable. The mastic is very strong. See the post "Bathroom Mirror" in the Glass Forum. Goto to the top right of the board and click on Show posts from last 60 days. The additional part for you is that you will have to skim the wall after. If you have panneling, you might think of just replacing the panel after removing the mirror to save the time of removing the mastic and still ending up with damage.
