I noticed the wallpaper in the bathroom was lifting so I pulled it off and about three layers of wall came off with it. There was some net looking stuff and cardboard, all thats left is a brown wall, Like paper. Should I hire someone to fix my whole bathroom wall or can I do it? If so what do I need and how do I do it? It looks like it needs plaster over it or something. The layers peeled off and smells like mildew. I didn't think it was going to be that bad. YIKES.

I have Lowes here so if you use products from there I will need the name and the amount to get.

Sounds like my walls. I did the same thing. All your left with is almost like a pressed cardbaord. Apparently this was used before there was drywall. It was intended to have a plaster veneer over it. Fortunately for me my husband is a platererer. You will either need to have it plastered or tear it out and replace it with drywall.
