  1. “Did the plaster crumble away when you scraped off the wallpaper?”

    Not initially, except in a few spots. However virtually every wall eventually had to be skim coated (30+ years after we moved in). We’ve had that done in almost half of the house in the last few years and will (hopefully) get the rest done in the next year or two.

  2. I’m so envious you have/had unpainted trim, Bob. 🙂

    I have a friend with a sprawling UWS apt rent-controlled that was in a Woody Allen movie. Her infant son has lead poisoning, so the management company is removing all the trim in the apartment and throwing it away.
