Paint a wall in my basement

[Benanov]

It's not a big job, and I could probably do it myself, but hey, let's support the community - and I'd rather pay someone who knows what they're doing.

I've had mold removed from my basement (twice in the same spot, near the HVAC, stupid condenser line) and the drywall replaced.

The wall isn't painted. The contractor who replaced the wall said he'd repaint it, but it wasn't in the contract - and while he said he'd paint it as a favor, it's been a very low priority for him. (To the point where I've given up even calling him to ask him about it.)

I have the paint (it's a common white, but I do have some spare cans). I just don't have any of the other supplies.

Can pay in cash, ammunition, or EtOH.

I'm in Westminster.

Do yourself a favor and have the area primed with KILZ. It should help to guard against future mold growth there.

It should be green board too.not regular drywall.

THIS

First replace with Greenboard, KILZ then paint
Should be fairly "bulletproof" to mold then

Wall's already been replaced by those service-oriented companies. There's a bunch of white paint there on the cinderblock.

^this. There are some really good anti-fungal paints and primers out there. I didn't even bother to paint over the primer I put on the drywall next to my HVAC unit, and it's worked great.

How much ammo are you willing to part with for this?

Actually "yellow board" with fiberglass - no paper for food source - is best in mold areas.

I would be more interested in finding out where the moisture is coming from and correcting that before putting up green, yellow or any other kind of drywall.

"Design flaw" in HVAC condensation exit pipe. It has to be lifted in order to replace the filter (facing unit: exit port on left face; pipe goes to right). If it is not placed back down at a proper angle, the water will back up and spill on the floor.

I'd have to re-route the damn pipe to fix the issue, or at least weight it in such a way with pulleys...

I've got a couple boxes of 9mm Luger & 45 ACP; can always pick up more when I go hunting for more .22LR.

You're welcome to specify a dollar value on the job if you want me to run it that way.
