I just bought a new wireless smoke detector because my landlord took ours and won't install a new one. I'm taking matters into my own hands and bought a new one, but will installing it on the wall or ceiling breach a policy? In general, i'm referring to the abrasions in the walls, which will be very mild.
Serious boots gloves helmet if your only pootling around a boiler suit or a water proof one piece over suit cheap as you can find, unless your serious then $500/$800 .
Though I have never experienced it, I am not saying it could not happen. But if you paint in your apartmentyou want air flow(not circulation) so that means the fan is blowing out the Window to the outside(or out the sliding door to the outside and the rest of the opening is covered with cardboard so that air cannot just make a quick circle around the fan and it is only the air there that is affected.. By blocking off the re-entry of the air through the same window and you are blowing the air outside, you basically got a vacuum cleaner. . I use a square fan as the window opening is square so it is easy to block off the area that is not part of the fan air flow(usually on the top as I have a side slider window so the window glass butts up to the box of the fan. Now the exhausting port has been made.Now you need an intake port which normally means a nother window across the apartment is opened and left open about the same amount as the fan size.. After all have you ever sucked on an empty soda bottle with your mouth over the end. Nothing happens. You need a hole before you can suck some air. So a window or a door into the hallway is open. Turn on the fan. Now the air is flowing and you should be located between the openings doing your spraying. {I would never spray inside my apartment cause I got to sleep there) so I would find a shed or garage that I could set up with the fan blowing out at one end and air coming in at the other. And I can spray in the middle. Excess paint spray is sucked out to never never land. and your job does not get contaminated with overspray. They do cars this way and you know what cars look like. If the balcony is outside then I would do it on the balcony and there is no need for fans and the like. Overspray goes to the neighbor.
