Removing Ceiling Drywall | My First Renovation

Ойын-сауық

Hey there! Today we are going to remove all the ceiling drywall. Why would we do this, you ask? Great question! First, there are some pretty bad patches in the ceiling already. There are places where the drywall is different thicknesses, water stains, popcorn (yuck), some sagging points. These issues alone aren’t a justification to replace the entire ceiling, but I also need to redo AC ducts, electrical, and repair some damaged rafters. The HVAC installer even cut me a deal since they could use a ladder instead of having to slither through that attic for the installation. All things considered, I think taking down the drywall on the ceiling will help make everything else faster.

    Awesome! It’s amazing how everything looks so big when the ceiling is off. Good job removing it, it definitely will save you time and make for a much more professional install.

    I’m about to pull out my ceiling due to Ida. I plan on putting tile in its place… never done something so big 😬 I’m nervous.

    Don't worry, you can do it. It's easy to get overwhelmed looking at the whole things at once. Taking the ceiling down is easy, and you put it back up one panel at a time. If there are any questions I can help you with, feel free to reach out.

    I really liked it being open too. I wasn't confident I could do a good quality vaulted roof. It probably would have changed the weight distribution if I altered the roof structure , so it seemed like too much to handle... this time.

    Do you know if there was any asbestos in the ceiling? That popcorn stuff is apparently pretty horrible. I'm tackling this myself soon - thanks for sharing!

    Pulling all the staples and nails was a total waste of time and accomplished absolutely nothing. You just take your hammer and drive them in you only need to pull the ones that will stick out above the sub floor or the rafter and their will be very little if that a 12x12 room floor or ceiling can be done in 10 min. I understand OCD I use to come in and try to make every single thing better than perfect. It took loosing a lot of hours that meant loss of money for doing something that was not required or even considered a problem.

    That also looks like it is textured ceiling and has ASBESTOS you totally missed every safety measure for your helpers and everyone else no coming into that home. I see you had an ok respiratory with filter but your crew did not. You had no plastic up to catch the asbestos or anything else. You should take this video down before you get people hurt or dead from breathing in that stuff.

    I'm more concerned about the mineral wool dust from the old loft insulation.
