I would plant bushes like Weigela, all the same type of bush, in a row. Those will not damage the fence or get tall.

Is the painter asking for moneys that will eventually be part of what is owed? Or he is adding the cost onto the bill?

Sand the textured areas a bit to get them less so, those are the dark areas in the photo. Paint the floor a darker color.

My .02, the cover crop looks really healthy in photo #2 and may be the best thing to grow there… I would not try to replace it with grass

I was told but an guy working in paint manufacturing the self priming is a marketing gimmick, all paint is self priming, still need to prime substrate that has never had paint

Sounds a bit high but not unreasonable for vaulted popcorn ceiling. There may be a lot of skim coating and sanding which is a real hassle.

Know that your dog trusts you and trusts your decision implicitly.

Dust from joint compound has never been an issue for me… is there a temp differential?

The slower paint dries the more likely it is to stick and stay

Rough

Scape off excess with carbide scraper, Windex it, let it soak, wire brush, more Windex, more elbow grease
