I am planning on blowing in more insulation before winter anyway, so replacing it isn't too big of a concern. I could remove it and spread it around the rest of the attic, but I'm not sure how big of a job that would be. The first problem with this is that the attic is filled with loose fiberglass insulation. However, if I did this, I'd also need to drywall over the existing smooth ceiling in the kitchen just to make them level.ģ) Tear down the textured ceiling and put up new drywall in its place. several times), but overall it's in great shape. I've already put screws up in the few places that were sagging (because I dropped a hammer on them from above. I see three options:ġ) Skim coat the textured ceiling - I've never done any sort of skim coating, so I'm a little wary of how that will look when finished.Ģ) Put up 3/8" or 1/2" drywall over the existing drywall for the entire room - joists are 16" on center and existing drywall is 1/2" nailed up. We want the whole thing to have one consistent, untextured ceiling and I'm trying to determine the best way to do it. The ceiling over where the stairs used to be is just bare joists open to the attic. However, the living room ceiling has a swirled texture, a fairly consistent 1/8" or so deep, and the kitchen has a smooth ceiling. I've already put up a beam to replace the walls we took out, and the whole thing is one big, open, happy room now.
One of the most significant things we've done is move the basement stairs, from dividing the living room and kitchen, to be parallel to one of the living room walls. We just bought a new house and I'm knee-deep in renovating it.
