Post: RE: Eggy water

Just hang pictures, quilts.  Add room dividers and tall things.  A ficus plant or two.  Textured ceilings are to hide poor drywall mud.  Just good enough to get the job done. They are also hard...

Chicken wire buried a few inches deep to prevent digging under. As tall as you can while stepping over it. Use 36" if you bury it 6" deep. (unless you are short or wear your pants around your knees)

Push it up into the ceiling until the nails pull out. Might need to use a large dowel and hammer or some such thing. Then you can pull it through and pull the wires out.
