leveling a ceiling

spark-451

I am currently tiling a bathroom floor, walls, and ceiling. there is a border at the top of the wall that would look bad if I had to cut it to accommodate the uneven ceiling. the difference is 3/4" in a 7' span. I can adjust the tile to end at the lowest part of the ceiling but that would leave a unsightly gap that will be noticeable when the ceiling tile met it. I was thinking about a skim coat of compound or plaster but I don't want to put the wrong thing and ruin the tile work. what is a the best thing to do in this situation

To do it right remove the sheetrock and shim the ceiling to level and drywall it again. This will give you an opportunity to use mold resistant drywall.

That would definitely be the correct way to do it.
