Border

Just bought a house that has glued on wallpaper borders. I like the paint underneath and would like to simply remove the border without going through the hassle of completely repainting the whole room. Is this possible? If so, what is the best method? Thanks!

If the border was put up in he past 25 years it is strippable. That means just grab any loose area and pull it off. There will be some paper left on the wall. Just use a sponge and wet down with warm water. It will scrape off easily with a plastic scraper. (less than $5) Easy!

A friend of mine put up a 6 inch border around the top of her room and then used the same border as a chair rail effect. When you walk in the room all you notice is her rooster border. In my opinion I feel it should be on one or the other, not both. It totally took away from the whole look of the room. This answer is going to be used to settle a debate. This is a dinning room w/ a country theme of roosters.

If you want her to stay your friend, just back off trying to convince her how right you are. She likes it how she likes it (or at least that’s her story, and she’s sticking to it!). Sometimes you have to accept things or risk losing the friendship.

I read somewhere that the United States fights to protects other country’s borders and I was wondering which country that was.

not ours

Mr. Vice President,
Our borders continue to be a huge part of the problems in this country. Undocumented aliens are coming to this country by the thousands and are taking both skilled and unskilled jobs that youth is this country could be filling. High school, college and post college age people entering the work force could be using these jobs as stepping stones to better themselves but they are currently swallowed up by these people who should not even be in this country. Most people with whom I have spoken about this issue agree that we as a country would welcome them with open arms if they followed proper immigration procedure. We also agree that current procedures are too difficult and time consuming. But the answer is not amnesty. The ones that are not working are a huge drain on our economy. They gobble up our social services like candy and demand services like hospitalization like it is an entitlement program.

Actually these days people that want to work are not coming north like they did. The bigger border problem is the drug trafficking & not the job seekers.
The jobs issue is relatively easy to resolve internally by just enforcing the existing laws and making sure people are citizens before they can work.
For some reason our own govt does not want to do this. They make it illegal to ask for proof of citizenship or a green card when people apply for work, welfare or anything else. Actually we don’t need to build a wall but enforce our own laws. In AZ the feds stopped them from enforcing the immigration laws. Our own feds. Now that is the real problem.
I don’t believe in stopping people on the streets and making them prove their immigration status, but when they work their papers should be checked out. = photo ID & proof of citizenship. simple but effective.

If people are here as tourists and spend money they earned it is great – but if they take up jobs without proper permission then they need to be denied jobs.
