Just an FYI... Scraping off Popcorn Ceiling is NOT a fun job.
Hate that stuff.

Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast and the taste is... fleeting. So, you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers.


:sigh:

I just replaced the whole ceiling instead of messing with that stuff. Mine was put on by the previous homeowner, and they put it on THICK.

I have to say that it was actually easy to get off. Spray on hot water, wait like five minutes and scrape off. It is the cleanup that is the nightmare. That took five times longer than the work did! I even put plastic on the walls. Lesson learned, though... I will use like 3 times more and secure it way better next time. SO MESSY!
