We close on the new lake house tomorrow. The first big project will be removal of the popcorn ceiling in the great room. We plan to remove it prior to moving in so we will at least set up for it this weekend. We've never done this before so we've been talking to others at work who have done it. We plan to use a little (not big) pump up sprayer to wet it down. I also plan to get one of the special scraping knives you can mount a bag on. I'm not sure how well the bag will work but you can screw a pole into the end of it and I think that will be handy. I plan to do the lower areas (say 12 foot or less) from step ladders (I have a 6 and a 10 foot) and rent scaffolding for the really high stuff.
First order of business will be putting dropclothes on the walls and floor. We plan to use cheap plastic ones and throw them away with the ceiling pieces in them. I hope to get the drop clothes up this weekend and maybe a little of the low ceiling (8-10 foot) scraped.
Any tips?
