Just got done de-popcorning the ceiling in our living room (17 ft vaulted) and repainting while we had the carpet torn out waiting for the hardwood to go in. If I EVER meet the guy that decided that popcorn texture was a good idea for home interiors, I will wear out the toe of my steel toed boots kicking him repeatedly in the junk. I literally worked on that mess from 1830 until 0200 4 nights in a row, after full days at work. I feel your pain, Carl.
