Plan to do at least two coats, especially if you are going with a dark color, and you should be set.Worst case scenario if you end up with an extra gallon, save some for touch ups and then throw the rest up on the wall as a 3rd coat.

But you shouldn't waste time or delay in the legal process of giving her notice that she needs to get out.  

At this point fired him and decided to take it out and start over on the DIY path to save the already wasted $$$ and time.

One of the things I always make note of (whether for my investment properties or for my personal residence as is the case in this purchase) is the type of plumbing for both supply lines and waste/vent stacks.

So my back is against the wall.

A picture is attached of the current / proposed layout (I'm not artist)My predicament is that I want to maximize my rent but I'm not sure if it will justify the addition of a wall with a door, the removal of a current door and the replacement of that door with some wall, the enlarging of window to make it meet egress standards (not positive on this one but I think I have to do this), and the removal of a closet to make a section for a door.
