Afternoon all&#33;  Well I sanded the ceiling down yesterday and primed it today so we&#39;re finally getting somewhere. What a mess the sanding created. Looks like I&#39;ll be cleaning cabinets for quite some time. Unfortunately even with all the sanding I&#39;m still going to have to texture the ceiling as it just is too lumpy looking. I went to Lowes this morning and picked up primer (done this morning) and texture paint. I&#39;m going to put a kind of orange peel effect on the ceiling. No matter, it will still be better then popcorn&#33;&#33; I&#39;ll never do another ceiling, ever&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  The best part is the next steps will be done by someone else, I get to watch.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/thumbup.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbup:" border="0" alt="thumbup.gif" /> <br /><br />Howie and I worked a little last night but not too bad.
