Popcorn...And Not The Good Kind

This past Sunday, we left for the Napa Houes at 6:45a.m. Our mission for the day was to scrape the popcorn texture off the ceilings. After extensive minutes of research on YouTube, we were confident we knew how to do it. It goes something like this...spray it with water, scrape off the popcorn texture, make an enormous mess and try not to get lung cancer from the possible asbestos floating through the air.

We started the day diligently wearing all of the required protective gear (notice the smurf-like costume in the pic). And by the afternoon, we decided the bubble suite was optional and opted for a respirator mask and goggles (most of the time). Fortunately, Spence was able to devise a homemade scraper of sorts that saved us a good couple of hours in getting the vaulted ceilings in the living room completed. And a short eight hours later, we completed our task (wahoo!).

Next step is to strip the wall paper, then get the ceilings/walls re-textured and painted. Yes, the fun continues...
