My daughter is buying her first house, it came with a new metal construction Florida room. Basically in the summer it's too hot and the ac runs constantly. She wants to just put up regular walls with insulation, and plaster board on the inside against the preexisting metal walls, to cut down on the heat load. Is this possible or is there some reason it is not advisable? Several contractors she contacted said it's impossible, mold will build up between the metal and wood framed walls. They want to totally rip it down and start from scratch. The Florida room is only a few years old, she thinks that is wasteful, and can't afford what the contractors are asking. These metal walls are filled with about one inch of Styrofoam insulation.

I have searched this and the Plastering forum and not seen any posts on using a vinegar & water mixture to make it easier to remove popcorn ceilings. Has anyone been successful doing this? Is there any reason not to do it? Check out this video. It get's really interesting at about the 1:45 point.

All that up and down on a ladder seems like a lot of work. Thanks in advance :)
