I was thinking this also. The house...I'm not sure...I believe around 80s or so...I forgot time period.

Sorry, I didn't clarify myself. I was answering the question in which if I sprayed water on the wall, would it drip. And yes it would.

The latter part, I do not understand. I mean, there's really nothing wrong with the wall, it's just that coating isn't there anymore (though that adhesive took a lot of that).

Tumbleweed/Mack1...as much as I want to say that I understand a lot of those instructions. I don't think that I understand enough of it. The substance that is covering the wall is called "spackling compound"? Can it just be a simple brush over (or am I thinking too simple)?

Thank you for all the responses. I'm just a little dumbfounded in regards to household common sense.
