"The representative at A-HL Computers, Alan, was extremely sympathetic and helpful installing the cooling fan. He ran a complete diagnostics and did the best he could, despite some internal damage that we suspect was done at Best Buy (but couldn't prove). Regardless, Alan installed the cooling fan as requested but the laptop On/Off Switch had been damaged internally so I couldn't turn on the darn thing. Alan helped me back up all of my files from the hard drive and I took back the damaged laptop, deciding to move on to another one. Alan gave me alternatives and options and was very understanding when I told him of my decision to move on. I would use A-HL Computers again without hesitation. Alan was a hundred times more reliable and responsive than the amateur hour "service" that I got from Best Buy. Thank you, Alan, for giving me some peace of mind and doing all that you could do in such a friendly and honest way."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

New plaster must be fully dry and cured before painting. The drying time for plaster ranges from 1 to 4 hours, but the curing process can take more than five days, depending on various factors, including humidity levels, temperature, the amount of plaster used, and airflow in the area. You should always apply primer before painting plaster.
