So we knocked out half of the walk-in closet, Green Glued up a second layer of drywall and turned one of the upstairs bedrooms into a beer-bar/den.
The popcorn ceiling is gone and now the TV is virtually unintelligible (as if that isn't already part of the description) Music is not so bad, I'm guessing because the speakers are lower.
If anyone has ideas short of re-spraying the ceiling, they would be greatly appreciated. (Bonus points for high WAF!)
TIA, Karl
