'Bought a rental house middle of June, 1980; a master sergeant retiring from Air Force moved out of base housing into the house July 4th weekend, 1980; moved out 'bout 3 months ago. 'Started painting interior of the rental house today.
For more than 60 years that I have been involved with houses in some manner - designing, building, restoring, repairing, inspecting, owning, buying, selling, renting (for myself and to others) - I have been lucky enough not to hafta paint a ceiling with the sprayed-on textured crap. I have never used it in any house I built, and have not had to deal with it until today. Interior of the rental house is badly stained with nicotine - all the ceilings are stained tan/beige - need to paint 'em. 'Started painting a ceiling with a roller this afternoon. Immediately as I came back with some overlap across the just-painted area laid down with the first stroke, texture on the ceiling in the just-painted area stuck to the roller in big flakes and sheets 2 to 3 inches square. The wet paint causes it to easily come off if you touch it again while it's wet. Any of y'all painted one of these crappy ceilings? Am I gonna hafta spray it with water and scrape it off with a putty knife? How 'bout spray painting it? If spray-painted, will it get heavy enough before it dries that it'll fall off.
