Stripping plaster.

[cregulator]

So I bought an old home and the previous owner fooled me by skim coating the Wood paneling and it’s begun to bubble and crack bad. Is there an easy way to strip all this? Or how much does it cost for someone to come strip it for me? I’m currently using a scraper and just going to town. I’m trying to do it myself but I’m being a wimp and it takes way more longer than I want. I’ll Try to post a picture later

What kind of wood paneling? If the 4x8 thin stuff just rip it down and start over.

If he skim coated over the wood paneling, I'd pull it off.

I agree, rip off the wood paneling and be done with it. Is there drywall under the paneling? Either way, drywall isn't very expensive and you can put it up yourself, then hire someone to tape it, mud it and finish it.
