The Sweet part about painting the ceiling Kilz it that if you run out the next pail ALWAYS matches. I am doing the same thing right now…LOL hard.

You have a fondness for Kilz and can cover in detail all of the types. Oil Based, Latex2, Odor Free.
-
5 Min in a Trailer you are looking for the “soft spot in the floor” They all HAVE them, just where is it.
-
While at the Hardware store you just HAVE to stop and look at the Mis-Mixed paint. You never know when a good gallon will pop up (or 5 gal bucket!)
-
When the weather says single digits, you think, “how good is that heat tape?”
And Last but Not LEAST…
- Nothing spells fun like a Fridge that has food and been unplugged for 4+ months!
Just some thoughts!

When friends tell you they are replacing carpet in their new home, you ask for the old - and store it in your garage until the next tin box needs it
The courthouse people know it’s you on the phone simply by the sound of your voice
You can eyeball whether you’re going to need to order a 6-yard dumpster for $100 or a 20-yard dumpster for $400
this is fun - truth IS stranger than fiction

don’t forget 6. when it’s ok to grab the steps left behind on the empty lot when a repo was finally pulled to use for the repo you just bought

The “oops” rack at Home Depot can be quite a bargain. Recently painted the ENTIRE inside of a MH w/ a 5 gal bucket I bought for $15!!! Well, all except the ceilings. They were a nice shade of Kilz . . . oil based. LOL

Quite true! I have a roll of carpet and 2 rolls of padding in the garage right now. Was driving down the road the other day and saw a whole pile on the curb to be picked up. I wished I’d had the trailer on the back of the truck. It was too far from home to go back though. Oh well . . . trash day is tomorrow. I’m sure I can find something I can use. LOL

Hey Ryan,
Yeah . . . Kilz is a primer used to cover stains that would normally bleed through any other primer or paint. And, yes, you can paint over old (or new) paneling. On these older homes I find that the Oil-based Kilz works the best - not Kilz II, not Kilz Latex, not Kilz oderless . . . . just the original, oil-based stuff. You can then paint over it w/ pretty much any kind of paint you like. And it’s great for ceilings too. It dries a nice, flat white! No other ceiling paint needed!
Anyway . . . hope this helps.
Regards,
Michael (KCMO)
P.S.

Ryan,
How’s it going?
What Marty said, but read the labels. Refer to ScottH’s #1. Different Kilz for different ills.

hiya Ryan-
kilz is a white primer used to paint over stains- it’ll cover the cigarette smoke, crayons, drywall mud patches, etc that all trailer rehabs eem to have- great stuff.
ok
