Removing popcorn ceilings
    #19120009 - 11/11/13 11:15 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

It really wasn't that hard.  I took hot water from the tap and filled up a 2 gallon garden sprayer and threw in maybe 1 oz of Simple Green.  Got things pretty wet then scraped with a 12" taping knife on a pole.  A little messy, plastic taped to the walls then rolled up was the neatest/easiest. 

Ready for texturing.  They never did prime things, so already primed the ceilings and will reprime after the texturing before finished coat(s).

This ceiling was new enough not to contain asbestos, but in any case wear a respirator and goggles for this job.  As a homeowner it's legal to scrape this stuff off, as a contractor you better be sure it doesn't have asbestos.

When scraping be firm, flat, but not crazy.  Also not too much water, but you need to get it pretty moist to keep the dust down and get to the sheet rock surface.

Nice. I was going to suggest exactly what you did.

Luckily it wasn't painted texture, otherwise you would have to float over it with mud. (which is really hard on the body.)

Yeah, I was pretty surprised how slick it came off.  Well we are ready to paint, my helper is actually good with the canned texture on the walls where it needed it.  Gonna have this place looking swiss coffeed out come monday.
