Did that yesterday and finished sanding and spackling today. It's going to be a bigger project than I was going to do, but why go halfway with it all ripped apart. Next step is painting ALL the woodwork white in there. Prime and paint. Also want to do the carpet but we will see about $$$. That will be done last so we'll see what the budget can handle.
Does it come off that bad? I want to remove a bunch of that also. I was thinking of using a scraper on a stick maybe an ice chipper.
Bad idea. Very hard to get off dry, pretty easy wet, but very messy. I put down plastic in the whole room. wet down a small section at a time, scrape off with putty knife, then when the whole ceiling is done, wipe down with we cloth. It evens things out. The hardest part is the corners where it meets the wall. I am doing crown moulding, so at least I don't have to get it perfect.
