[QUOTE="DDD, post: 43308, member: 35"] Suz, we are going to have a guy use a paint sprayer for the popcorn ceiling. I read, fairly extensively, and alot of the popcorn ceilins contain asbestos. Our whole house has that type of ceiling and it's just not possible to have experts remove the whole thing and way way too complex for us to d-i-y. The experts say it is almost impossible to "paint" in the traditional way but the interior paint spray machine does the job. This sounds a tad bit morose but it is true. I have finally come to grips with the idea that this is our "last" house. Fighting my stress levels/depression has been a major issue this year and I think one of the biggest factors is that I hate where I live. I don't want to live in this city forever...but...fortunately I don't hate my house. So..I'm trying to economically fix up the parts of the house I can and resale value isn't a factor. by the way, the research I did on popcorn removal stressed that the lst thing you do is take a sample and send it to a lab (about $20) to see if it has asbestos. It the answer is yes, then you need to hire experts to remove it (thousands). So long as it remains intact you are not in big danger. When people do remove it the preferred method is to use a mister in a small area at a time because it is a big Bozo No No to get the popcorn "wet" rather than damp. Our parts store sold asbestos brake shoe lining for over fifteen years so we have already been exposed prior to the danger level being identified. It appears we lucked out and have no issues. I think the lighter yellow above and the brighter yellow on the walls sounds better too. Voila! (lol, thanks for the spell check on that word) The decision is made! DDD [/QUOTE]
