Is there a ceiling that is above us of which we are un aware?

Ceilings need Sheetrock.

Basically it needs the Ceiling painted and the place needs a good thorough cleaning.

Together (for both houses), the total rehabbing would be 23,000. this includes roofing, painting, pressure washing, electrical, floors, bathroom re-vamps, landscaping, ceiling work, doors, fixtures. the 9!

I love all that finish work, those ceilings are a work of art. 

The drywall ceiling to the basement bathroom is floating in a few inches of water, and the ceiling is replaced by a monsoon level downpour. 

With a condo, you "own" the space within the walls, floor and ceiling of your unit, you don't even own the walls or the concrete under the floor.  

Or stick with antique white walls, white ceiling/trim and lighter carpet?

The $13,000 includes:Replacing one entire gable, repairing another gable, tearing out all bathroom tile and old vanities, new flooring (vinyl plank), 4 new ceiling fans, 2 new toilets, 2 new bathroom vanities with new countertops, sinks and faucets, new kitchen counter with new kitchen sink and faucet, paint on all surfaces inside and out (except brick), new doors, new hinges, new cabinet hardware, new bathtub surround, minor carpentry repairs, all new light fixtures, all new switches and outlets throughout, some minor electrician work, minor plumbing work, various minor drywall repairs, gutter repairs, painted concrete porch, new pillar for front porch, doorway thresholds, all new blinds, replacement of a broken window pane, all the appliances, and all the labor.
