hanging hammock

Hi, I have a bedroom that had wall paper on 2 walls and orange peel texture on the other 2. I wanted to match the orange peel texture on the existing walls. Those walls are smooth to the touch. After removing the wall paper I hired someone to do the texturing with the job description of matching the other 2 walls. The 2 walls that were re-retextured are really rough, if you rub bare skin against it with some pressure you will get some scraps. Furthermore, they really don't look the same, it looks closer to popcorn than orange peel. I have talked to the contractor and said that I don't believe the walls match and am not happy with the end result. He is obviously disagreeing with me. I have never retextured walls before. Am I being unreasonable? And now, how do it fix it? Thanks!

I have a basement that has paneling. One of the walls is an exterior wall, and it has cinder blocks and then insulation and then the paneling. I am going to paint over the paneling ultimately. Occasionally, there have been water leaks coming from that cinder block wall. I am going to remove the paneling and insulation temporarily and apply dry lock extreme to that wall. My question is, since that cinder block wall is prone to water leaks, does it make sense for me to re-install new insulation. I think the insulation becomes abreeing ground for mold and mildew. Is there a type of insulation that can get wet and not be ruined? What do you suggest?
