The ceiling



As you can see by this picture of the living room ceiling, I have a big UGLY going on throughout the entire unit. The ceiling in the kitchen/dining area has been dropped but the ceilings in the rest of the unit look like this. Those beams are concrete supports covered with that sprayed accostical stuff. I have a sample in to the lab now for testing. If it contains asbestos, I will have the ceiling dropped. If it does not, I will have plasterboard installed. I'm not at all sure which is the least expensive way to go. At this point I really do not care as the uglyness just has to "go away". Why would I want to keep dirty ceilings that have those ugly beams when I'm getting new carpet and fresh paint? You agree, right? Today we purchase the paint. Hopefully, next week the carpet comes up and the painting begins and I find out what will happen with the ceiling.
