hello there, painting my sons room tonight and as i was doing it i've noticed alot of lumps and bumps on his wall which really annoy the perfectionist in me, i've also noticed there is a line down a section of his wall which i assume is wall paper or lining paper or something. can i sand the lumps and bumps down or will that just totally wreck the wall cause it has paper on it? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, i wanna say I'm a woman, but that's insulting to women who can do diy, I'm just bloody useless lol. many thanks in advance for your advice;)
 
perhaps it is plasterboard.

Don't sand paper.

When you knock it with your knuckles, does it sound hollow? How old is the wall? Post some photos, with your hand on it to show scale.
