So I have discovered that whoever put up the wallpaper decided to use incredibly strong glue on the upper stairway and to not remove the previous wallpaper on the lower stairway. Though this made it a lot easier to remove the 'new' wallpaper, the stuff underneath is slightly damp and I have no idea if the wall behind it has been damaged. I have scored the hell out of the upper stairway and the next step is to spray the wallpaper remover stuff on it and scrape it away. My dad is coming to help out sometime this week and I will wait to do anything to the damp walls with the old wallpaper until he gets here, because he is one of those people that will know what to do.
There are also tons of holes in the old plaster of the walls and I am going to do a lot of patching. People, listen: if you decided to put up wallpaper, please prep the wall first and use a glue that isn't cement. That is all for now.
