Scraping means to scrape it off so as to expose the drywall underneath. But, it will be much much harder if it’s already painted. Your contractor has the right idea. Skim coat it or put new drywall over it. Probably cheaper, too, if you’re paying for the labor.

Cost will depend on how you go about the change. The cheapest change would be to scrape it all and the paint the smooth wall. Add some cost to scraping and then applying a different texture. Alternatively, you could just drywall over the existing g texture to start fresh. But, that’s both cost and labor intensive. Scraping only costs some sweat equity.

Though, if you keep registration closed, you’re unlikely to have this problem again.

2·1 year agoNot from iCloud, just from the phone’s local storage. So, to backup all of iCloud from the phone, those photos would have to be downloaded to the phone first.
Alternatively, you can download all the photos from iCloud to a computer, then upload those photos manually to the Immich web interface.


Curious how this compares to Watchtower.
