i have removed popcorn texture from ceilings with water and putty knifes and it isnt that bad, but im going to be removing one that has been sprayed with paint, i dont think the water will penetrate that well, so is there a way i can do it with some other type of chemical? paint stripper? i dont know, any tips would help. thanks.
Because, it is most likely a latex paint. As you probably know, latex is water soluble. So you should have no problem using the method you tried previously....
We are wanting to remove the popcorn ceiling from our living room and feel confident that we can do it sucessfully but I still have a few questions.
Our home originally had ceiling heat, about 5 years ago we had forced air put in and the ceiling heat was disconnected. Will any of the wiring or heating unit be visable under the popcorn? Or does that sit on the attic side of the sheetrock?

All wiring should be on the attic side of the sheetrock. Popcorn wouldn't hide wire. Any unused old heating supply or return vent holes can be sheetrocked over.

That is a new one for me, but I live in hot and humid Dallas, TX.
