Drywall peeling after removing shiplap/paint
My boyfriend and I just bought a new home, and we began taking out the existing shiplap and trim with plans to repaint the walls dark blue. Removing the shiplap left the paint/drywall beneath pretty torn up as well as some additional unevenness in the drywall beneath (see images). There are 3 total sections of wall like this, only 2 are pictured. From a bit of researching, it sounds like we would need to scrap/mud/sand/prime these sections before painting the wall. Looking for advice on if this seems like a doable project for beginners or if this amount of work would be best left to the pros. We are on a pretty tight budget, but also don’t want this to look bad as it’s a main focal point of the house. Appreciate any input! submitted by /u/RipParticular8460 [link] [comments]
