So I am rehabbing some of my units in my apartment building.I am using 5 gallon off white for cost flat to get them painted using a sprayer.The painter mentioned that for the bathroom and the kitchen to use a semi-gloss.The reason being in the bathroom the semi-gloss instead of the flat paint won't absorb moisture into the wall.With the kitchen the walls would be easier to clean for grease etc.I guess it made sense to me since I remember from my cars if the paint was flat anything that stuck was really hard to get off but if you had the gloss coating nothing got in and was easy to get off.I can still get semi-gloss 5 gallon for cheap.Just getting input form the paint experts.He is starting tomorrow.I am getting a smoking deal at 70 bucks labor per unit to paint 1,200 sq ft.He doesn't have any work right now and needs the money and is a professional contractor painter.He says he can clear one a day.

I have asked a lawn care company about sodding it just to get ideas and it will be very costly and they also cannot guarantee that the sod will last due to 1) large trees causing shade and sucking all of the moisture out of the ground and 2) poor soil in that area.

Water/moisture itself isn't a problem, but it will cause problems if it isn't dealt with appropriately.For certain types of constructions water is expected and accounted for by adding a sump pit and pump, and ventilating the basement like a crawlspace.
