Whacking the popcorn ceiling sounds like something to do with genital warts.

I didn't think I could do drywall either but it turns out to be super easy.
Everything you need is at Home Depot. They are usually standing around in groups in the parking lot.

For the primer/sealer I highly recommend Windsor Bullseye. I personally think it seals better than Kilz, which I used exclusively until I tried the Bullseye. It comes in oil or water based as well. (I like the water cleanup so i try to use the water based whenever possible.)

You can get a solution to add to the water or use vinegar and dilute the water for spraying the ceiling. Then use an 8 inch knife to scrape off. Once you have it all off then do it for a second time and sand with a sanding pole.
You want to let it dry then prime the ceiling with a primer. I use Sherwin Williams Pro Prime it's water based, no need to apply an oil base primer unless you want to use respirators the rest of the way. I always add a couple squirts of black to the primer so it's gray and you can see imperfections easily. Plus when you spray your texture on you can see your pattern to keep it even. Mud your imperfections, clean up with a sanding sponge, and start spraying texture on it. |

You guys do realize that when you perform this sort of labor for yourself you are taking work away from people who are taking work away from Americans?

I'm wanting to do this to my house. For some reason, previous owners only removed the master bedroom, den, and the bathrooms of popcorn ceiling. I know how to remove the popcorn. Its the steps i take after removal, to retexture. Anyone care to give me instructions?

Never had a problem with popcorn ceilings but knock down ones do look nice. Taking the popcorn off is a huge mess, though.
