I've got another client with a crappy-ass popcorn ceiling in a room
where I've got the carpet and trim coming out. What are the best
methods for getting it off?

I've done it: once, in Minnesota. Do people have to worry about
asbestos in such circumstances?


Asbestos is not a problem as there will be no dust to speak of. Even
if there was some, it is miniscule.

With a hand sprayer, dampen the ceiling a bit with water that has a
small amount of dish detergent so it acts as a surfactant. . Let it
soak a few minutes, then scrape with a wide blade knife. Wipe the
remaining residue with a sponge.
