Tall Fat Head Decall/Wallpaper Installation
by
REGGIE N
Installed a 7 foot tall fat head purchased from fatheads.com. This was one of my son's favorite player - Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks.
*Options I considered for this project:
No other options.
*Questions and unexpected events that arose during the project:
Would this fit on the wall and could we install lit without tearing the wallpaper / decall.
* Cost Comments:
$115 decall plus shipping
*My motivation to do this project:
Son wanted to have largest picture / decall of his favorite player
*Project Steps:
Took 12 foot ladder to son's room
Cleaned wall of any cobwebs, dust, etc.
Carefully unrolled the wallpaper and decall
Started at the top by carefully applying some pressure to get the top of the wallpaper to stick and carefully pulled off backing.
Worked way down the wall being careful not to bend or tear the decall
Used the provided roller to smooth out the wall paper
Use the roller to seal down the edges
Used a clean cloth to rug over entire wall paper / decall to make sure now bubbles
Installed the name and logo using the same methods above
Advice:
Do's
This is a 2 man project with as tall of a decall and difficulty in handling
Use a tall ladder
Take your time and have a lot o patience
Don't
Get in a hurry
Do follow the instructions provided
