We are currently refurbishing the auxiliary accommodation area at Xorg HQ. Insulation material has been installed on the walls and ceiling to reduce heat loss and improve soundproofing but they didn't tell us that this material is a bugger to wallpaper. Apparently you are supposed to apply paste to the wall as well as to the paper when, of course, in our naivety we applied paste only to the paper. The result is some seriously unstuck wallpaper. This photo shows the worst example and there are quite a few places where only parts of the paper have stuck leaving raised bumps elsewhere. We are now faced with the decision whether to try and bodge it or scrap it and start again. I think we all know what we ought to do but can't yet face up to it. I don't think duct tape or WD40 is going to be sufficient on this occasion. Ho Hum.
Still, look on the positive side: it's been a learning experience.
