Unfortunately, you'll probably see a dull patch where you sanded, unless you really want to buff it out! 

I wanted to see if any of you had any historical insight on the birth and growth of property management.Any real estate history buffs out there have any info to share?

I think I would gently poke those areas and if they were not spongy, I would use the kiltz as already described.

I buff them out for them if they are dull.

Always great stuff with some gentle comedy =p 2pm: Back to work at the fed job.

I think that America has in the past over incentivized passive income over earned income, and that perhaps our gentle neighbors to the North are more right, more often, than we care to admit.

After much gentle persistence, four of the six siblings agreed to meet.

I'm newbie here, please treat gently :-)I have dilemma to solve, would love all your thoughts and advices.We own a TH that we bought in 2006.

If there is/was little insulation in the attic (the ceiling joists are exposed above the insulation), you would have cooler/warmer temperature along the bottom of the joists which could both cause moisture issues and may have affected how the smoke particulate stuck to the ceiling.If you take the pointed tip of a knife or {one blade} of a pair of scissors and {gently} press into the drywall along one of those lines, is the drywall hard or does the knife tip slid in fairly easily?  

Gently remind the seller that that to invest in this property, you have to cover repairs, closing costs, and carrying cost.
