finally removing this clunky, dusty, ugly fan from my bedroom was SO satisfying, it was incredible. Replaced it with a tiny 10" circular, 1/2" thick flush mount.

actionjackson posted:finally removing this clunky, dusty, ugly fan from my bedroom was SO satisfying, it was incredible. Replaced it with a tiny 10" circular, 1/2" thick flush mount. Having 8 ft ceilings throughout my house means that I pulled down every single ceiling fan that was in the house when I bought it. In addition I removed the popcorn texture on the ceiling, skimcoated the ceilings and installed recessed lighting in every room. Prior to that literally the only lighting in the house came from ceiling fans and a fluorescent fixture in the kitchen. I would sort of like to have a fan or two in the master bedroom and maybe the living room but I've never found a low enough profile option that wouldn't make the ceiling feel lower. I did find this, but it's pretty darn expensive and I haven't done enough research to see if there's an option stocked at a local store where I could actually get a look at one. https://exhalefans.com/product/bladeless-ceiling-fan/

I would like to get rid of my popcorn, but it's painted and the little bits are pretty small so it doesn't look too bad. Having it fixed up would be pretty messy and expensive. I would basically have to evacuate my condo for a while. I have ten foot ceilings so I guess it's not "in my face" as much. I had considered getting the downrod version of this fan, in aluminum. you might like it https://modernfan.com/fan/ball-flush-mount/

Buy one of these for popcorn, painted or bare itll come down. For what you have to pay to get it done it's easily worth it. WEN 6369 Variable Speed 5 Amp Drywall Sander with 15' Hose https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HRL9XYI/ I love ceiling fans too much to ever give mine up.

um excuse me posted:Buy one of these for popcorn, painted or bare itll come down. For what you have to pay to get it done it's easily worth it. I'll have to look up more info on that. My main concern is how the ceiling will look after that - since popcorn hides defects, this will reveal all of those defects. Presumably, professional popcorn ceiling removal and "ceiling fixing" exists for a reason. The rate I typically see is $3/SF, including patching and painting after the removal. actionjackson fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Aug 11, 2021 |

Well you definitely have to skim the ceiling with some sort of joint compound to smooth it flat again. HOGARD Premium Taping Knife Pro Tapered Stainless Steel Blade Soft Grip Handle Drywall Knife Made in EU, 24 inch (600 mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RBFHY37/

I DIYd about 1650 square feet of ceiling, but I had not moved into the house and I also had all the flooring stripped out. So it made a huge mess but it wasn't nearly the headache as if I had been living here. A power sander with vacuum attachment like the one linked would've helped a lot, because hand sanding sucks. I forget the exact taping knife sizes I used but I think I found the 6" knife to be the easiest to control to remove the popcorn, but mine was fortunately unpainted, so it just required water to remove it. As far as skim coating goes to a "level 5" finish, it's back breaking work, but not rocket science. Water down all purpose joint compound, paint it on with a 9" roller, and then scrape it off with your knife of choice, feathering the edges. Then sand and do it two or three more times. You will probably discover some nail pop or damaged tape that will need to be replaced. I had covered the floor in plastic sheeting so that after collecting all of the debris and drywall dust, I rolled it up into the sheeting and threw it all away. You may be able to get away with leaving the ceiling at a level 4, painting on a sealer like Zinnser Gardz and then paint that with three flattest white ceiling paint you can find to hide imperfections. Avoiding lights aimed up at, or across the ceiling will also help hide those imperfections. Anyway, it is doable but tedious. If you find a good drywall guy that can do it for a reasonable price, pay them.

I would definitely hire someone, but again the popcorn is painted, and the little bits are pretty small, and the ceiling is higher, so it's not really that noticeable or offensive. Definitely pretty low on my priority list.

 I don't like the sinks, and I wouldn't want to live with that, but that looks like a public bathroom I would enjoy being in, weight the establishment slightly heavier on my list of places to go because I want to poop there.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ATBGE/comments/p32k0j/undisclosed_home_great_neck_ny/   some redditor posted:It was built by a former Georgian real estate investor and billionaire by the name of Tamir Sapir. Despite his lack of taste (the rest of the house is the gaudiest thing you have ever seen, but the exteriors and landscaping are actually beautiful), his story is actual quite amazing. He immigrated to the US speaking little English and started off working as a cab driver. He eventually opened up electronic and retail stores and later invested the money he was making in to real estate, amassing a huge portfolio over time.

Yeah if they're buying billions in property and were mysteriously wealthy in post-soviet Georgia, they weren't humble immigrants. No one is that lucky, and buying real estate seems like a common way to launder huge sums of money.

If seen that Mies Van Der Rohe building before, and I too was shocked how low the price was. I'm guessing there's something else going on, maybe special assessments. Also condos that old (only a few years after condos came into existence as a legal entity) tend to have a lot of financial issues.
