Hi. I want to remove popcorn from my bedroom ceiling and hide fan wire
Want to hide fan wire in concrete ceiling and attach it behind shitrock to electric outlet. Any tips on how to remove a popcorn ceiling?
Just go over it with 1/2" drywall. Be sure to premark studs so you can screw into and use long enough screws. Finish it smooth.
Here's some help for you. It's a messy, tiring job but you can do it. I have, more times than I like to remember. :)

When I had mine removed, a sample was taken to a commercial lab to check for toxicity, common in popcorn ceilings. If so, it must be removed commercially. The workers had to wear the hazmat suits because in removal it gets into the air. The debris goes into a large vacuum truck. It's not a DIY job. We then had the ceiling remudded. I don't know if it would be smooth enough after removal for a flat finish.
