So I just bought this house and the plan is to fix it up and then put it up for rent. Well it’s really a good size house 3-4 bedrooms, bath, kitchen, dining room, living room, another 2 small rooms I guess was entertaining room with fireplace also and then this tiny little room by the kitchen. We are painting it and leveling it among other things…..So my parents are wanting to do a lot of it themselves….and they are in an argument about painting the house…should they do it now or after they level the house. One says if they paint, once they level, the paint will crack and they’ll have to paint again…Well I know nothing about it I would think they should level the house first of all before ANYTHING but that’s just me. So any construction worker out there or someone who knows more than me obviously can you lend a helping hand.

The right one trust me that you do not contractor but the house mostly finished its safe to install fiberglass batt.

yes, level the house FIRST! the paint can crack. the baseboards and trim can shift, too so if that happens-they can mess up the paint. Get all the construction work done BEFORE painting.
Have fun!! Wish I was helping-I love that stuff! =0)
