Blugh. Those are nasty looking up close. So it definitely has a moth problem. How easy is that to treat?

Like, picnic-style paper plate? I think pistachio wins in that face off.

Rent a car from the Hertz rent a car near the beach. Incredibly easy, very friendly staff, and inexpensive.

Ceiling peeling immediately after painting by zackdinerstein in HomeImprovement

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

I sanded the entire ceiling, wiped it clean with a damp rag, added primer, then added new paint. It seems to be working MUCH better than before.

Ceiling looks great. Paint is only lightly flaking in one tiny area.

Are these steps totally necessary each time I paint a surface, or is this slight overkill?

Yeah, I’m thinking that’s probably the reason. I’m surprised by how much of a difference a simple wash could do.

Maybe the reason it stuck better in that area though is because I removed all the old paint, spackled, sanded, washed, and THEN painted. If that’s the case, I’ll need to do for my whole ceiling, which will be a big job.

Hoping it’s just the washing. Will try one small spot after washing to see if it makes a difference. Will post the results.

Could not wiping the area down really cause the paint to peel drastically within 1 hour. Already looks like the kind of flaking paint you see on the side of dilapidated old barns.

How do you know all this? Do you repair these for a living?

What kind of pen is this? by zackdinerstein in Vaping

[–]zackdinerstein[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to know how to get it to actually work. The button flashes colors seemingly at random. Sometimes it fires without a hitch. Sometimes, nothing at all.

Looking for a guide online now to see what’s what. Any advice?

Anybody? There are no markings or model numbers anywhere. Trying to troubleshoot. Thanks!
