When the top paper of the dry wall has come off, do I have to use a special product, other than the plaster that is normally used for repairing damaged drywalls.

I have skim coated mine, sanded and primed. But the new paint did not stick, and the skim coat when I sand it a little harder, goes all the way back to the porous, brown paper of the drywall.

My sister insists on having the hall light on, and it drives me crazy when I try to sleep at night. I've got a towel stuffed under the door now, but I'm looking for something more permanent that won't make it hard to open and close the door. I know you can buy those door sweep things, but from what I understand, they are more for keeping out drafts and things like that. Any ideas? It's a long question for something not too serious, I know.

I just started mowing and Im not very good at it. Can any of you give me some tips?

Sorry for the length of the question, but I need to explain it and hope for a good answer.

I had recently painted my Kitchen wall with premium latex paint over and old latex that I even primed before putting the new coat.
I even washed the wall before priming it.

For unknown reasons, the new coat did not stick. In some places it could be peeled off like a piece of plastic.

About two weeks have passed, last night I decided to get to it and peel off the whole thing and redo it. But, now it seems to be stiking much better.

But still anywhere I scratch, I can peel off a little bit of the paint. Actually peel off.

Is that the new these new Enamel paints are and expected to be, or am I going to have problem if I do not remove them all first.
