I have got a few quotes to paint the interior of a house. The job involves the removal of wallpaper. Most painters do this with a steamer. However, one does it manually, saying that the moisture generated by the steamer would have negative effects on the house and he's only ever used a steamer once in many years of working as a painter.
I am not sure which method is better. It's an 80 year-old if it makes any difference.
