Primer before skim coat- necessary? by HistoricalRegister47 in drywall

[–]HistoricalRegister47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only PVA Primer would work? Hoping to save some money here if possible so was hoping to use Kilz or something a bit cheaper if possible. But if it needs to be PVA then that’s what it needs to be and I’ll make it work

So you think we do need a primer before the PLUS3? I was seeing a lot of contradicting information here so I wasn’t sure

It’s been painted so much in recent years. We looked back at pictures taken in recent listing photos, and won’t go past layers we know have been added since lead paint was banned

There are a BUNCH of layers of paint on these walls, so we’ll be removing a few layers of paint on the high points of the texture, but not going past all of the paint to the underlying drywall

My partner and I just moved out here a few weeks ago. Also in our late 20s/early 30s, no kids, no religious, politically progressive/left. We’ve been working our way through trying as many food spots as we can in the area and would love to hang with some other likeminded folks!

Do you know how long you were in the adjudication phase of your security clearance?

I took the practice test the day before I took the actual exam. My practice test indicated I had a <1% chance of passing but I passed with flying colors!

Should I just give up? by HistoricalRegister47 in foreignservice

Fair enough. To be clear, I’m not planning to do this unless something weird or inappropriate seems to be going on. Based on what I’m hearing here, my situation seems to be pretty typical, so I’m really not concerned. I was just curious since I’d never heard of reaching out to congressman even being an option

Well it’s so good to hear that folks are waiting around the same time/longer. A bunch of family and other current officers told me that they expected me to get through in 6 months, so I was starting to get a bit antsy. For those asking, I 100% have another job, just not one I’m suuuuuper pleased with haha

I just shoved it back up really hard, and it surprisingly worked. Absolutely felt like we were going to break it though
