If all the adhesive has failed and it's coming off in sheets, pull down everything that's loose and do the same thing.

So, i was thinking i was going to just leave MilesIQ on my phone and upgrade it to a payed plan when i realized i was kinda upset with how much it task my phone.. out of all the apps i have tested, according to android battery task manager, driving the exact same trip to test each app out.. i noticed that MilesIQ just barely, but pulls ahead in using the most battery power while its in use and when you're just walking around and not logging miles, the constant checking of the phone's sensors to detect if another ride is in progress really makes my cell phone battery drop much quicker than it does without the app installed, so i started looking into other options that were not app related and a few popped up with the most accurate and favored one being the Miles Ace, but some have stated the device died between 1-2yrs after purchase and many people complain about how hard it is to setup the wifi feature on the device and if you dont drive for week or so, the device can sometimes loose its settings or just act weird and fail to log rides.. so i dug further and found some people use the OBD2 dongles, which cuts the battery usage of many tracking apps down to a fraction, because the device is no longer checking its built in accelerometer sensors and such 24/7, now only doing it once the OBD2 dongle is detected, but still many claim that some car charges struggle to keep up on some model phones or the rate of offsetting the discharge on the phone is very slow, causing your phone to recharge at very very slow rate compared to without the app running..

It is hard work and you can loose your a** in this business, thats why you dont quit your day job until you have enough cashflow to support yourself.  

The reason I do better is I have spent years evaluating deals that I intend to buy, so I am not being loose with the numbers.  

Had the lending environment remained loose, we would have settled to some new, higher long term trend line.

I cannot imagine it ever getting cold enough in Kentucky that you would loose the advantage of a high-efficiency heat pump.  

Basically I am not loosing any money going in to the deal.

No matter the option you will need to get all of the loose paint off the wall...clean it with a little mildew killer (not totally necessary but I would)...then use a nice latex primer to seal the walls before you apply the top coat.
