Can we talk about skim coat vs. new drywall for a 12x14 room?
I have a bedroom in my 1950s house in Dayton that has about 40 years of paint layers and a few bad patches, and I keep going back and forth. My neighbor swears that two coats of mud and a pole sander got him a smooth wall for under $100, but a guy at the supply yard told me I would spend more time sanding than hanging new 1/2 inch sheets. I am leaning toward the skim coat since the walls are already there and I do not have to move the outlets. For anyone who has done both, which one actually gave you a better finish without eating a whole weekend?
