I suppose if it's dustless there really is no need to. When it comes to doing the compound rolling I guess I'd take my time to avoid getting it on nearby walls.
- re: using a knife to get it off, it's a fairly large home so I don't think that would be the most viable. Fortunately the edges have a flat border so I should be fine there.
- re: colour, I'm aiming to paint the walls the same colour as the ceiling. I may have someone come in and change the existing lights to potlights before I start this, but that's another story.
- re: tool used, what was the cheap sander you used? And what dust extractor? Those seemed to be key from the videos I watched. There's a Bosch one for <$400 on sale on amazon, but I'd need to get an extractor too, which is why I'm thinking I'll just rent from facebook marketplace.

I wonder if it might be made easier to entertain the idea some drop ceilings. It looks like some of the options are pretty decent now, and not like the sad styrofoam ones you see in old offices or basements.
