I put one on front and back doors, one window, then I put a motion detector in a weird place (in one house I sat it on the stairs every night),,,,if someone gets in it alerts me and they call the police (I change the address when I move it from one to another project, I never have more than one going at a time.I use the kwikset smartkey, I have heard they are easy to break into, but most break ins I have seen involve a door or window being kicked inandy

I then had a plumber come by who found the main pipe into the house sprang a leak under house which rest on a cement slab.

home needs paint, here is a list that I got quoted $7,500.00 forIve bought wall paint alreadyHe is supplying everything else, tape, brushes, trim paint ETC.Paint entire 3150 Sq ft home Paint ceilings Repair texture and paint water damage in 3 areas of the ceiling Paint entire 2 car garage Paint all oak cabinets White, sand, prime and paint correctly off hinges probably 25 doors, and 15 drawers Paint all 12 doors paint stair case wood polespaint baseboards 

The other locations that tested positive are the stairs leading upto the porch and the painted wood on the floor.. 

I would definitely use hardibacker or cement board.

When I first moved in her kids would climb on my basement stairs and I once opened my door to a kid with a hammer in hand.

When finished the exterior is parge coated with quick dry cement which can be colored if desired.

The headroom requirement eliminates a lot of attic spaces being used as bedrooms even when there are access stairs.

Does it have stairs &/or loft style bedroom??

I would just use a dab of rubber cement and apply.
