Bathroom ceiling surfectant leaching, what can I cover it with to stop it?

Will Kilz 2 be sufficient? It's a small bathroom, with no fan and only a small window that stays closed in cold weather (so, 8 months of the year). The brown drips down the walls and collects on the ceiling and it's really gross. I wash it off, but it keeps coming back. I plan to paint the walls with Aura bath and spa.

I think I'm allergic to Plaquenil, now what?

Crest, secondary Sjogrens, Hashimotos. 57F.

I got a rash this past winter that gradually spread and worsened. Showed it to rheumatologist in April, he didn't have any answers, suggested a dermatologist. (Haven't gone yet) After that, symptoms waxed and waned, then got increasingly worse by June. Dawned on me that it might be the Plaquenil, so I stopped it four and a half weeks ago.Rash has very slowly improved.

What are my options? I know I need to ask the rheum, but I'm losing confidence in him. Is there anything else that could help with stiffness and joint pain? I'd like to know what options he might suggest, so I can read about them.

Currently I'm only taking ibuprofen (and levothyroxine for Hashimotos), but my PCP (she's a CNP) suggested trying naproxen instead.

Any advice? Oh, I tried Celebrex, which was good, but I started experiencing severe vertigo after taking it, so I stopped.

Update: What wireless model will have a better wifi range than the c400?

Update to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tapo/s/6l5CkgWQmK

I got a C425, put it in the same spot the C400 was in, and it's working much better with a stronger signal. Wider view angle too which is a nice bonus.

It seems it was not the older Netgear wifi that was the problem.

Thanks to u/LycraJafa/ for suggesting the C460, which led me to the C425. Similar cam, but I didn't need 4k.

Is there a term for in between free range and pasture raised? I feel like there should be.

I let my chickens out for a couple hours every day where they have a couple acres to explore. When they are in the run, they have about 15 sq ft per bird. I keep them in during bad weather, and they don't want to stay out long on the winter.

I can't call this pasture raised, but it seems like more than the minimum definition of free range. I know the definitions aren't exactly strict.

I feel like there should be something in between. It would be useful when I'm advertising my eggs for sale.

Or am I overthinking? Do buyers care?

What wireless model will have a better wifi range than the c400? Solar won't work.

Edit: I appreciate the suggestions for wifi extenders, but that's s not what I want, I want better cameras if they exist, thank you!

I have two c400s, one outside my chicken run, one inside the coop. Both are about 40-50 feet from the router, which is in a window with a direct line to the cameras, but of course the coop one is inside. They work, but lose Wi-Fi contact frustratingly often. Rssi outside is usually about 60-65, inside 65-75.

Solar won't work, neither will wired so they need to be battery powered. Resolution isn't too important.

There are bears, raccoons, bobcat, hawks, etc. so it's important for me to be able to check quickly when I'm on the opposite side of the house and get a motion alert.

Is this Reishi? Found in the woods behind my house in NH.

If so, is it ok to harvest when it's ready, or should I leave it to propagate?

What's wrong with this goldfinch?

Is this finch eye disease?

Just in case, I took down all feeders, wrapped in trash bags and won't put anything out again for the foreseeable future. I sprayed disinfectant on all railings and places where birds might have sat. It's going to rain the next two days. What else should I do? I can try raking up the ground seed, but I doubt I'll get it all. Maybe a shopvac? I'm very worried about my chickens.

Hi, I asked my hubs if he'd learn how to give me a hair cut (quid pro quo, I've been doing his for years), and he said sure, send some tutorials so he knows what I want.

I've found a couple; this one is layered like I want, but a bit longer than my preference. Also, it might be too advanced for a beginner? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tYcEZJiEtk

And this one, which is simpler and closer to the length I want, but I don't want bangs at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyMvNqyUB1M

Can anyone suggest anything else? Or should I stick with these? My hair is straight, with the barest hint of a wave when it's in layers, and fairly thick in the back, a bit thinner on the sides. And I can't stand bangs.

TIA!
