Hi, so recently I had discovered there are some mold growing on a wall in a room under my stairs, and I tried scrubbing them with some bleach and I managed to get rid of the mold that's visible to my eyes. But as a result of the scrubbing some of the paint on the wall is damaged. So I went to a local paint shop and told the guys over there what happened and asked for some advice on how to repaint the spots, then they told me it's better to remove all the paints in the room and paint it over from the start, because there's a chance that the mold has already spread over to the other walls in the room and they're just not visible yet. So I got me some paint and some other equipment to paint recommended by them (picture of the paints will be attached below) [img]https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.doityourselft.com-vbulletin/2000x901/img_20210803_140744_971cf8a5e446e30053ee354637f299187e1e03ea.jpg[/img] Now I've done some scraping and sanding but I don't know if I've done enough.

[/i] do I need to keep scraping and sanding until there's only gray from the concrete wall? Or is this good enough for me to start painting? The white stuff on the wall feels flat with the other parts of the wall that's completely gray and they're pretty hard to remove too, even after I applied some paint strippers on them. Thank you in advance, Sorry if this is a bit hard to read/understand, because English is not my first language.

[color=#383a3b]Hello Everyone![/color] [color=#383a3b]I need help and/or advices, as I am looking to remodel my kitchen.[/color] [color=#383a3b]I want to open it up. It's not really closed though, but I want to open it up all the way.[/color] [color=#383a3b]Here are some pictures :[/color] [url]https://postimg.cc/gallery/S2XRRpw[/url] [color=#383a3b]I posted them on a image hosting site, so it is easier to read...[/color] [color=#383a3b]So basically, I want to remove the wall you can see on picture 1, and maybe picture 8 as well.[/color] [color=#383a3b]I have two scenarios, remove at the starting point of the the arche ( pics 9 & 10) or all the way up to the kitchen ceiling (pics 11 & 12). Ceiling on the other side of the kitchen is way higher.[/color] [color=#383a3b]I am pretty sure these are not bearing, they are made of drywall and sound hollow everywhere.[/color] [color=#383a3b]Ideally, I would remove the walls from the kitchen ceiling all the way to the floor, but that would mean changing the kitchen furniture, and I dont want to do that now, main reason is I want to see how it feels / what it looks like before spending thousands of $ on new furniture. I know I am going to lose storage space (the ones on the wall, pic 6), but that shouldn't be a problem, I'll figure something out.[/color] [color=#383a3b]The blue wall on pic 8 may go, it may stay there, I don't really have an opinion on that. I think it would be better off gone but I'm not sure.[/color] [color=#383a3b]So here are my concerns...[/color] [color=#383a3b]First of all, I am good with tools, but I'm no professional. It doesn't seem that difficult, but I still wonder if I can do it myself.[/color] [color=#383a3b]I also would like your opinion about the project itself. Think it would look good? Be handy ?[/color] [color=#383a3b]If yes, where should I cut? My guess is kitchen ceiling but I'd sure like your opinion![/color] [color=#383a3b]How difficult will it be to move the switches? I sure hope the wires come from the basement... If so, I don't see any problem, right?[/color] [color=#383a3b]Main problem might be the ventilation grate, I am open to suggestions...![/color] [color=#383a3b]I'm sure I had other questions, but none pops in my head right now... If you could help me plan this, raise issues I had not thought about, etc., that would be great![/color] [color=#383a3b]Thank you Community![/color] [color=#383a3b]Nufan[/color]
