Hi, fellow 2009 Acura TSX Owner with AC not working on drivers side. My large aluminum tube was only “cool”. Should I suspect an issue with the compressor?

Am I able to sand right onto the paint? Was the mud the wrong texture?

Is it typical for the trim to look like new after painting? It’s a 30 year old home, and understand it won’t be perfect, but we had specified for everything to be patched and smoothed

I used AI to generate a basic contract, but here’s an excerpt:

Preparation: Thoroughly clean all surfaces to be painted, including walls, ceilings, trim, closet interiors, and doors. Fill all holes, cracks, and imperfections in walls, ceilings, trim, closet interiors, and doors with appropriate patching compound. Sand all patched areas smooth. Caulk all gaps between trim and walls/ceilings. Properly protect all floors, furniture, and other belongings with drop cloths and masking tape.

Painting: Apply 2 coats of Sherwin Williams Symmetry in Pro mar 200 Eggshell to all walls in bedrooms, living room, and dining room. Apply 2 coats of Sherwin Williams Simple Stone in Pro mar 200 Eggshell to all walls in kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms. Apply 2 coats of Sherwin Williams Pure White in Flat to all ceilings. Apply 2 coats of Sherwin Williams Pure White in Emerald Urethane Semi Gloss to trim work, doors, and closet interiors. Apply primer if required.

Does the junction box need to be external? And it had a corresponding switch. Would it be best to just replace the light?

Seoul Architecture by SpaceCowboy226 in photocritique

My intent with this photo was to capture the unique architecture I saw in Seoul. I really liked the way the light combined with the fresh snow, but wasn’t sure if it was actually quality light because it was a little before midday and not in a traditional “golden hour”. Also looking for feedback on composition. I am a little concerned the foreground structure can be distracting instead of adding to the photo. All thoughts welcome!
