We had the guys re-float all the walls and spray new texture and it looks great but I've also heard of guys painting directly over paneling.Anyone done this with success?

I can't imagine that smearing glue would be any quicker than using zip ties, unless the glue is in a spray can.

If you discover multiple layers of plaster and/or no insulation I would budget a reserve to gut each apartment back to the studs as they turn over and insulate {We've found spray foam to work best in the older houses, especially if they have rough-cut framing and sheeting}.I am partway though this process with one of my buildings that is 120yrs old ... only I am stripping all walls back to the studs and dropping the ceilings as well.

Jarred, I have not had the opportunity to check them out yet.

I'm curing problems with a 6 zone system that sprays too much on the house and forced water into the back laundry room.

No cookie jars. :)

How to get spray paint off a wooden fence?

Since you consider doing some plumbing in the house anyway, just get a Hudson sprayer pour 1 part bleach 2 parts water and spray the area where mold is visible.

Welcome Jarred!

I spray the walls and ceilings semi gloss white and paint the floors gray .
