The builder of my 40yo house put the backside of the sheetrock facing down
from our ceiling. My wife put a 3rd layer of paint on and the paint started
chipping. I've scraped about 1/2 the ceiling, trying to remove the old paint
and have torn the stuff out of the paperbacking. Short of hanging an entire
new ceiling of sheetrock does anyone have any ideas what I should do?



After you get the peeling stuff off you can cover a multitude of ceiling
sins with "texture paint" applied with a roller.

If you think you'd like the rough look of a "textured ceiling", you
might give that approach some consideration.
