Since there are so many more experienced remodelers out here, I thought I would ask some basic questions that are bugging me....
1) What material is commonly used for interior walls under what appears to be some kind of adhesive backed wall covering?
2) Since this material appears to be very thin, what is the best type of fastener to mount things like towel racks, etc.?
3) Are the walls actually attached at the top to wooden plates? It looks like the ceiling covering was in place, and they just stood up the walls, but they have to be attached at the top somehow.
4) Will gently prying with a thin bar allow me to remove pieces, or is this always a destructive process when I have to get back behind something?
5) Are staples the way most of this trim was installed?
Are there other things that I need to know before I start making some changes?
All comments and experience are worthwhile, so thanks in advance!
