A Ceiling Renovated With Love

The master bedroom ceiling has lots of distress:

-Bad patch job from when the AC leaked.

-Water damage.

-Big hole from where the ductwork was removed. We are throwing away the leaky old AC.


I found this stuff that is like drywall mud, but it sets rather than dries. You know, like concrete or plaster. I put that stuff in the big holes because it doesn't shrink or crack.

In 1 hour's curing time, I was ready to texture the ceiling!

I put drywall mud in a roller tray, and put it on the ceiling with a roller. I let it set up for about 10 or 15 minutes. Then I knocked down the tallest bumps with a drywall taping knife.

Ceiling texture is like LOVE. It covers a multitude of sins.

Next object of my drywall mud love: The popcorned ceiling of the hallway!

That wimpy popcorn stuff comes off enthusiastically, in great sheets, with just a little mist spray!
