Front: one between first story floor and first story ceiling, another lolly directly beneath that, and cement footing w rebar in the basement slab beneath everything. 

The event was triggered when a polybutylene pipe feeding the upstairs bathroom burst over the living room ceiling while my tenant was at work.

We recently did the following in our house: Benjamin Moore 'Dove White' on the walls (satin or eggshell finish), trim (semi gloss finish), doors (semi gloss finish), and ceiling (flat finish).

I've already hit the ceiling on cash-out refinancing ($510k conforming loan limit).  

Your ceiling or caps are also very important to understand. 

The bathroom in the basement has no ceiling and door.

I read about soundblocking drywall and greenglue, decoupling, resilience channel ceiling installation.

Also not to have ceiling fans but I broke both rules and have not had any issues.

I've had a good experience with them; they've paid for a couple issues that they missed when they turned the property over to me.Late last week I got an email from the maintenance manager at my property management company where the tenant had called because they were having trouble keeping the house cool (68-70 degrees) and it was also causing condensation to form on the ceiling and peel some of the paint and apparently also get into the light fixture.

ceiling heights to short?
