1.strips collectively.
2. something I do with wallpaper :-)

Origin: 1800-10; strip + -ing

(or just a bag of rubbish in the corner) - the pre-stripping (or random picking) phase is still in effect. Hubby has removed the offending (and downright dangerous) polystyrene tiles from the ceiling and we are now polystyrene free after 6 1/2 years. Thankfully (unlike the kitchen) the ceiling decided to stay where it was.
