Spackle, let dry, sand lightly. Apply paper.

let dry, but don't let dry overnight or whatever. Easiest to sand imo when it's first dry

No, this is what I need to hear: “Wallpapering is so easy! I don't know why people pretend it's a pain”

Trickiest part of wallpaper is getting the patterns to match up properly. I only did it once and I resolved to never do it again.

As in the 'Juicy Muffy' thread, this one was also not about what FMan was expecting just from the subject heading.

Hubby says spackling and sanding looks good and I can try painting next! I think today I'm going to mow the lawn though, it'll be cloudy

If a marriage can survive putting up wallpaper, it will last a very long time.
