I was the same way. Full basement hid. Shitty fans, clogged carbon filters. I like my tents. My cabinets are no joke either lol. Just think, you could hang one light in there and run the exhaust in a loop back into the intake. Then do an op. You'd be swimming in beans and your dms blowing up for a sample satchel of testers. I can see the sparkles in your eyes as you read this.

Duct tape a puddy knife to a shopvac. Spraying it with water cuts down the dust and makes it easier to scrape off. My advice is always free, but not always the best

I've got a 12" ceiling scraper, a battery operated backpack sprayer, and an 18' extension pole. I already knocked out 200 sq feet in the library. All told it took less than an hour to take down the popcorn, it took 2 to prep and 2 to clean up.

My mix is warm water with a couple drops of dish detergent, then spray and soak for 5 minutes, re-spray, then it comes off like butter.

A little portland cement mixed with joint compound makes a plausible plaster. bongsmilie
I've also used woodglue to make a hard curing compound and plaster of Paris in compound to make a plaster like finish. I've got several recipes for the mudding tasks that lie ahead. Everything from 20 minute hot mud mixes for filling holes, skim coat mixtures, and texture mixtures. I already did the master bedroom in the end of 2019. Then everyone got sent home and I couldn't tear the house apart anymore. Just started getting momentum again about two months ago. Excepting the kitchen I will have torn every room of this house down to the bones and rebuilt it between 2008 and now.

Next time I'm doing all this before we move in.

You fancy! I'm a hack

I live in a plaster finished house, pre-1868 on a stacked limestone foundation. Balloon framing and midwest weather can flex that shit.

We had to re-plaster wood slat wall a few walls in the mid-west when I was a kid. When we moved into a house that had drywall it was like stepping into the 20th century. I always hated having to remodel a room every time we moved, but having made all those early mistakes as a kid has come in handy as a homeowner years later.

Doing kids room, its the last one in the house, thanks god. Ceiling and all wals scraped, fixing and painting, new windows and lining, new floor, el. wires, hot water heating. Hope i will be finished in two months and then move on to garden-outdoor kitchen, old cellar repair and 4x10 m hoophouse, of course. Bold planing...

I'm hoping to be done with every room in the house except my office and grow closet by the end of March. If I've timed my plants right I'll harvest and then tear down the closet and return it to a boring closet and start letting people see the house. Hopefully have a contract signed before August.

That's the goal anyway.

I'm about 5 years behind you. It will be a sad day when I take the cabinets apart. A sad day indeed
