I'm preparing a ceiling for skim coat on my late 60s home. In some lighting you can see the drywall joint through the texture. Should I do anything to correct this prior to skim coat?

Maybe taping? Or would just floating this out really well during skim coat would be enough to hid it?

I'm currently addressing a bunch of nail pops by running screws down the ceiling joists, hence the chalk lines (2ft on center to give you a sense of scale in the photos).

These photos are three sperate joints in really unfavorable lighting to make it stand out.

I'm removing a kitchen windows on my house. The home is sheathed in 1/2 inch fiberboard (followed by some type of very thin foam wrap and vinyl siding). There is no vapor barrier. Home is in IL.

  1. Should I use fiber board or a more modern product?
  2. Should I seal the edge with flashing tap or a liquid flashing (tape doesn't stick well to fiberboard.

Any other considerations I should make before jumping in?

  • Cpu: 9700k, 9900(k), 10600k, 10700(k) OR similar.
  • Mobo: Z390/Z490
  • Ram: 16gb (if available)

My preference is the cheaper 9700k (~$220) and something liked a gigabyte z390 UD/gaming x ($100) that can OC a bit. I do not mind if the cpu was overclocked.

If you happen to be parting out other items like SSD/M.2 drives and would like to include those in the sale let me know (I don't need a cooler and would prefer not to buy one to keep shipping cheap).

I posted 12 days ago and got some offers. Ready to pull the trigger now.

Grabbed a v60 matias off mass drop recently and ran into a problem with the board. When playing csgo I use the caplock key to crouch so Im using the key often. However, a continued press of the key will not hold crouch. Also, if I use wasd to move while crouched it can override the button press and my character will stand up. Anyone run into this issue or able to recreate it? Switching around the dip switches on the rear of the board does not fix the issue with that particular key (the issue stays with the default caps lock key itself rather than follow whatever key caps lock is bound to via a dip switch).

Mass drop as agreed to a refund, just want to make sure I not missing anything.
