^^^ gotta love the popcorn I have one room to scrape off. I have been renovating our house and property little by little over the last 4 or 5 years. My plans are to rent it and buy another. The other day we went to look at a house and it needed total renovating and I thought it would be a good idea but dang, sometimes it seems overwhelming.

I hate remodeling with a passion! Best of luck to ya on the project though.
I think I'm one notch above hate! lol, thank you
