Why? Its aesthetic.

This is purely an aesthetics question.

comment What preparation is required for tiling over poorly laid floor boards?
OSB will still bend and flex if the structure underneath of it doesn't offer enough support.

comment How to avoid water build-up in bathroom's passive ventilation shaft?
I suspect the fix for this involves structural work that you're not authorized to do as only one tenant, so temporarily reducing the water and making a huge issue about this w/ management is your best action, I think.

comment Second layer of drywall on textured ceiling: Do I need to sand down or remove the texture before second layer goes on?
You can level the textured ceiling with 2 to 3 skim coats of mud. First application, run the widest blade you can in a uniform direction - you'll get ridges in the mud like waves in the ocean. 2nd pass, run the perpendicular direction to fill in the ridges. In your case, that should do well enough to then apply the green glue.

Have you reported the issue to building management? With references to how legionnaires disease is spread?

comment How can I fix my entry door that is not deep enough?
Are you saying that the door was narrower than the wall or that the wall was narrower than the door?

comment How can I lengthen my vent stack and are there any negative effects in doing so?
Too localized. Building code questions are generally too locale specific.

comment How can I prepare slightly uneven tiled floor for vinyl 'planks'?
Agreed, Shirlock, if you do this a lot, dry mix is the way to go. But for a single room one time job, the pre mixed makes sense.
