    Only if you grew up with a sewing machine in the house, or took "Home Econ" in middle school.

    I used my mom's pinking shears on cardboard once.

    I still can't sit down.

    The other end of the 10mm socket wormhole seems to be in my garage, cause I have several that don't match any of my socket sets.

    We had some workers at my last house removing the popcorn ceiling finish.
    They looked a lot like this in the stairwell.

    Popcorn ceiling & Terrazo floors.
    Those floors could split a skull in a new york minute.

    Yeah, but terrazo lasts forever, to a good approximation.

    Still have a popcorn ceiling in our family room. I am a little confused as to what about them is quite so bad. Just fashion, I suppose. Never been a dedicated follower of fashion or hung out in Regent Street or Leicester Square longer than it took to queue for the cinema.

    The biggest issue for popcorn ceilings is that you can't clean them easily or repaint without scraping it off. I have it in most of my upstairs rooms to this day (house built in 2001). The kitchen especially needs to be scraped off and repainted smooth due to dust/grease residue over the stove area (yes, even with a microwave vent fan above). The great room needs it too because of poor seam work by the drywallers, and of course, 24 years of dust buildup, and soot from the previous owners using the fireplace often.

    Popcorn ceilings are sprayed very easily. Even if you have to use Kilz, it's pretty easy if you know what you are doing. You can even blade off (use a shield) if you have wallpaper or don't want to paint the walls at the same time. You will need to make either a custom corner blade or tape off some painters plastic to protect the corners. A typical room with a popcorn ceiling can be done rather quickly.
