I would replace the ceiling fan.

Plus the house had an industrial tile drop ceiling - weird.

-Has no crawlspace (common for older properties) so we couldn't see the foundation-Drywood termite/wood decaying fungi damage seen on all the windows/doors/parts of the beam on the exterior, parts of roof decking and rafters in the attic-Old leaks/moisture damage seen in the ceilings and attic-Parts of the roof has patch work-Roof doesn't have any permits on record (don't know how old it is)Seller's offer to me:-Fumigation treatment for drywood termites (tenting the house)-Replace and repair all damage wood throughout the house-Replace the entire roof with a new permit-Replace one window in every room (not all)-Pay for a structural engineer to inspect the foundation-Offer to get quotes for repairs and have a 15-20K budget to make all repairs, house is 500K.

I recently got a PLM Summary Report on a property detecting 2% Chrysotile in the drywall in the garage and 5% in the popcorn ceiling throughout (looking like just in the spray texture).

If water is dripping through the ceiling, we will respond immediately.

SFR is 2100 sqft over two floors (one is basement), both floors are fully-finished, water pressure is not an issue. there is no other rehab in the main house, so we will have to cut into the ceiling for just the retrofit.Thanks a ton!

If 2 and the bathroom is on the second floor, the plumber will need to access the other plumbing/water lines and this could involve accessing walls and ceilings in various areas depending on your layout.

@Steven WestlakeHas anyone tried skim coating over popcorn ceiling with success?

Heck, I even find joy in it when a squirrel eats a hole through the kitchen ceiling, the fire alarm blasts for no reason, and the tenant's kid secretly turns off the "do not turn off" switch to the heater, necessitating an emergency call to the electrician.Three years after retiring from freelance writing, I'm looking for my next act.

I just don't know where that stops or where that ceiling stops, but because it's still so new, there's probably going to be a lot of money moving into that area as a new vacation spot.
