Did one room it was the biggest pain in the ass ever. Had to mud a couple of spots after i sanded it to make it truly flat. I have a giant knife made for scraping popcorn ceilings( 30") and a sprayer if you want to borrow them.

Originally posted by DON SVO View PostRemoval was literally get under it and scrape it off. Total beat-down. Our master bedroom took me around 8 hours (13x16 with a vaulted ceiling and soffit center border) to remove, then another 4 to re-tape/bed edges as well as repair some damaged Sheetrock. Then I re-textured and painted. Probably a good 18 hours total.I don't like Republicans, but I really FUCKING hate Democrats.

I half-assed it. I did as mentioned previously, but I just used a 8" taping knife to knock off most of it. I primed and painted over it so it still has a texture that is a little rougher than orange peel. I would say that getting it consistent is a little hard, but I figured it out after the first room. Knowing how much work it could have been if I wanted to get rid of it completely, I am happy with my results.

I didn't have any uniformity issues, but my house was only a few years old when I did it, so that might have helped.

Mine were easy as shit to get rid of. Just prep properly with plastic on the floor. A lot less work than scraping it when dry.Originally posted by BradMBut, just like condoms and women's rights, I don't believe in them.Originally posted by LeahIn other news: Brent's meat melts in your mouth.

Well, I decided to scrape the popcorn off of the ceiling in the Nursery today.
Befonre:
Halfway through:
From the other side of the room:
And the finished product:
I wish I had done this before we did the flooring before we moved in. It makes a huge difference. The room seems brighter. It is a little inconsistent but the texture throughout the house is inconsistent from years of drywall patches and texture repairsOriginally posted by LeahBest balls I've had in my mouth in a while.
