Our entire Main floor and the finished inlaw area downstairs is all the knockdown style. Even a little fancy area overtop the dining room light.

Thank you both for the question and answer. This whole time I was thinking knocking down the ceiling seems pretty extreme, not to mention messy & labor intensive. I was having a nitwit moment. I blame the earthquake & solar eclipse. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend who does drywall and did our basement told me that while knockdown takes more time to smooth things out it less messy than a popcorn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the eclipse will replace Covid and supply chain issues as the excuse for everything that goes wrong in the world. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo&fran Posted April 9 #118911 Share Posted April 9 I found out this weekend that a bad computer mouse can bring down your computer. I use a laptop computer, light and portable, but I use a wireless mouse and keyboard. The mouse has been misbehaving, a single click made multiple things happen. Like reading here in a thread, but a click to go back one step goes back more. Anyway way, now the thing wasn't doing anything. Couldn't click out of a window. My computer has a touch screen. I tried that. Finally had to turn the power off. Restarted and it didn't get any better. I am thinking the computer is broke. Fortunately , I have another mouse, although it has no keyboard which is why I don't use it. The computer now working again. Off to Best Buy and got a new set. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonTexasNY Posted April 9 #118916 Share Posted April 9 Thought I'd add to the paint topic. This is the paint on my previous house living and dining rooms. Swirls of I think 3 colors. I loved it and the house. It just got too big for us after our daughter married. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll keep looking at their UK site to see itineraries and get a sense of fares and then try to see about booking through their US site. @grapau27 photos over the years have been wonderful and I like the idea of doing some European ports outside of the US summer season. One agency has exclusive rights to P&O sales for North America 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted April 9 #118920 Share Posted April 9 Back when I had my own contracting company that specialized in basement renovations all we did was flat ceiling, no popcorn, no knockdown. A bit more time but a much cleaner look that added visual height to the room. As for getting rid of popcorn ceilings we always just installed new sheetrock over top, even if it did not contain asbestos. That also allowed us to cut dozens of holes in the old ceiling to add pot lights and fish wires. Run a bead of caulking around the perimeter walls and install crown molding and you did not even have to tape the corners which saved you from repainting all of the walls. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
