Sherwin Williams Ask us about going green in a big way.
Our GreenSure® designated paints are a great start to a perfect finish. They're low-odor, low-VOC and are manufactured taking steps to reduce environmental impact. Most importantly, they offer maximum performance and long-term durability. But there's more to going green than just what's in the can. Here are some painting tips to help you go green, no matter what color you choose. Use all the paint - Our paint experts will help ensure you purchase the right amount of paint for your project. Use the best paint - Exceptional paints like Duration Home® cover in fewer coats, which means using less paint. And they are incredibly durable so you'll need to paint less frequently. That's about as green as it gets. Store it right - Tightly sealed cans and clean brushes ensure great touch-ups. Recycle - Many communities recycle paint. Check the policies in your area and remember, leave the lid off and wait until the paint is solid before disposal. Ask us - There are many more ways to make your next project green. Ask your neighborhood Sherwin-Williams® painting expert for more ideas.

Remove Wallpaper
Better Homes & Gardens
Turn Off Power
Turn off the circuit breaker that powers the switches or outlets on the wall, and remove any electrical covers.
Apply Wallpaper Remover
Spray or roll the wallpaper remover on the wall, then wait 15 minutes or so for it to soak through and loosen the paper. Be sure to wear protective eyewear when spraying wallpaper remover.
Peel Wallpaper
Apply a second coat of wallpaper remover to keep the paper moist. Use a putty or drywall knife to loosen the paper, then begin peeling it off. Be careful not to gouge the wall.
Remove Backing Layer
Often the top layer of wallpaper will separate from the backing. If this happens, apply the wallpaper remover again and repeat the process.
Patch Walls
Continue working until all the wallpaper has been removed. Patch any bad spots on the wall with spackling compound. Allow the spackling to dry and sand it smooth before painting.

Anti-Wi-Fi paint keeps your wireless signal to yourself
Christopher Null
Don't like the idea of your neighbors rudely snooping on the wireless signal you slaved to pay for from the lazy comfort of their living room? It's not just about slowing down your connection; while they're downloading Mad Men via bittorrent, you could be on the hook for their actions.
Wireless security and encryption systems are fraught with problems and insecurity, and other methods to restrict your signal to a small area are cumbersome at best.
Enter a new solution: Anti-Wi-Fi paint.
The idea is simple: Use a special paint on walls where you don't want wireless to pass through (say the exterior of your house). The secret is mixing aluminum-iron oxide particles in with the paint. The metal particles resonate at the same frequency as Wi-Fi and other radio waves, so signals can't pass through the thin layer of pigment. Outsiders would simply be unable to access your wireless network, just as you, inside the house, won't be able to interlope on anything beamed on the outside.
Developed by the University of Tokyo, the paint is said to be the first that can block radio frequency in higher spectra where Wi-Fi and other higher-bandwidth communications occur rather than just low-frequency wireless like FM radio. Most Wi-Fi technologies operate at 2.4GHz; the Tokyo paint can reportedly block frequencies all the way up to 100GHz, with a 200GHz-blocking paint now in the works.
The paint isn't just of interest to those concerned about wireless leaking out of the building. Movie theaters have long been interested in finding a legal way to keep cell phones silent during screenings. Electronic jammers that actively block wireless signals are illegal, but passive materials that prevent wireless signals from getting through are not. Since the wireless-blocking paint can also block the lower-frequency signals that cell phones use, addled mobile junkies would have no outlet for reaching the outside world.
Some aren't convinced that anti-Wi-Fi paint makes a lot of sense for a secure situation, though. Says one engineer, "Surely the thought of having to redecorate a building in order to provide Wi-Fi security is more costly and complex than the security functionality available in even the cheapest of Wi-Fi access points..."
Good point.
