Grab two 12 packs of green glue and throw an extra layer of drywall up there to be safe - if you think sound is a concern, now is the time to address it.

I'm hopeful that it will coat with one layer, saving me labor and time.I went with a Semi-Gloss Creamy and plan to paint walls, ceilings, and trims with this (I think I will paint doors solid white).

Why are people being forced to wear masks which without question will WEAKEN your immune system and WORSEN your breathing/respiratory status?

Get some orange or lime green masking tape and put it on everything you want left. 

Just be sure to bring masks, vaccination records, sanitizer, a yardstick, ........

But, it wasn’t until we had electricians, HVAC techs, etc. come in start peeling back the layers did the situation really get gaged.

It acts as another layer of protection for you.

@Chris AdamsI see what you mean but sometimes even if they are honest and nice as pie while applying, after you give them their second chance and they move in the mask comes off and the real personality starts to show.Maybe it's different in other parts of the country, but the people I encounter here with bad credit are rarely people who had a temporary bump in the road.

However, paying the premium for the affiliation is fine with me because there's another layer of quality control and accountability.

@Nicholas AjaThe easiest way is to make sure you’re both on the deed and mortgage, by default in doing this the laws offer a lot of base level protection for the both of you such as disposition on death, etc.The next level would be to draft an operating agreement up between you both through a lawyer.Another layer of protection is to require your tenants to have renters insurance so they would use that before they go after you personally.The biggest single layer of protection though is communication and to make sure you’re on the same page with timeline, goals, expectations, work schedules, and budgets.Good luck!
