Hey all, I just closed on a home and I want to get the place ready for my family to move-in. The problem is there’s nasty popcorn ceiling - even worse, the ceiling is painted yellow. During inspection I was told not to worry about the possibility of asbestos - I will test still. I was wondering if it would be better to scrape it off or dry wall over it? Applying drywall would eliminate having to test for asbestos. However, I have shorter ceilings - 8ft - so I don’t know if the drywall would make it seem shorter than it already is. Any thoughts or suggestions? This will be my very first DIY project and I want to get it right. Thanks in advance!
