How can I scan a picture off of a wall?

lovelylady

My bf and I are moving out of our home and he has lived there for years. Well he's had many parties and a BUNCH of friends left signatures on his bathroom wall. Unfortunately a group of his friends died and he refuses to paint over it. Is there a way you can scan or copy the wall so we can have it saved? I would just take a picture but its all over and its on all sides of the walls. I heard there is a handheld scanner you can get to print or save to your computers. Anybody know where? or what they're called?

Answer
Not even sure if they're available anymore--handheld scanners. Googled and found some--"Handheld document scanners"--but they're way expensive. ($500+) At that price, you're better off cutting out that section of the wall and then plastering it (or re-drywall). The cost of repairing a small hole is under $20...tools and materials included.

If you go that route...here's a good tutorial on drywall repair.
