Thank you for your engagement, Manolo!

My  contractor has advised that it would be more cost effective to simply furr out the walls and put up a nice smooth dry wall instead of trying to even out/improve the current situation.

Thank you Sandra for the heads up, I retired in 07 and never encountered it in the field and the damaging effects probably took some years to manifest....  

So I am, in effect, starting over again from scratch.

Breglio , he is the best attorney to engage on your real estate needs. 

Google "FHA seasoning guideline" or something to that effect for more info, but essentially it has nothing to do with what your initial question was asking.Btw, I sent you a message back earlier today to email me.

My name is Chris, I'm currently a 23-year-old college student in Los Angeles, California, studying Visual Effects for the entertainment industry (i.e., special effects for movies -- y'know, blowing stuff up).

I really want to keep things as simple and cost effective as possible before going the route of talking to an ERISA attorney, but I appreciate your input.

The unintentional side effect is this creates and employer-employee relationship and that spells a nightmare if there's an adverse parting of the ways.

Hey Devante-Haven't done any personal research on that market, but I would imagine Fort Benning has a huge effect on everything.
