The only site I'll ever need...

[Eli]

Is anyone here handy with interior painting? We just bought a house and the previous owner painted the ceilings with some sort of cheap glossy paint that's bubbling and peeling. If we were going to paint over that with a normal flat paint, what's the process? Do we need to sand off all of the previous, peeling paint? Just prime and paint over it? Write a check to someone who knows what they're doing?

What's the cost of drywall where you live?

How high are the ceilings? 

Assuming it's just white paint, you can probably just prime and then repaint, however you'll at least need to scrape the bubbling and peeling parts and then sand them which is always the absolute bitch of painting.  Basically, if this going to require a ton of ladder work (as opposed to just a roller on an extension rod) I'd just pay somebody to do it.

TOO DAMN HIGH.

Ceilings are 8 feet, I believe, except for a few vaulted spaces that go a bit higher. So if we had an extension rod (||), I think it'd be pretty accessible. I figured there would be sanding involved if we didn't want the first layer to pull off the new layer.

Maybe that's the look that the previous owner was going for.

Check for any water leakage while you're at it.

Congrats on the home purchase, Eli.

I've nothing to add other than after having painted 7 different rooms in the last 6 years that it's probably my least favorite thing to do ever.  Have fun

Is there an easy way to access this place on those fancy interweb phones? Like a message board reader app? I hate using the browser on my phone so I end up wasting my time with stupid games/reddit/twitter instead of wasting my time here.

I've never found one, but it looks like this one might work. 
Though Andy may need to install some sort of MOD.

I think I tried that one. It didn't work, but it looks like Andy could fix that. Problem is he never comes here so he'll never know about it. He does tweet a lot though. If only it was easier to access Desipio on a smart phone, then he might see this.

Anybody have a Cinemageddon account? It's apparently now invitation-only, and I'm curious about the "Russian Fantastika" stuff. (Not that I'm having much luck finding the 2.35 Ikarie XB1.)

Huge improvement in readability, thanks.

Wish it could still have the "Show unread posts since last visit" option.

It still highlights the categories that have new posts in red to give you that information.

Ahh...I see that. Didn't know what the red meant.

Only site indeed.
