it’s gonna look like shite underneath and will take A LOT of mudding and sanding then u will have to paint. And even then it won’t be perfect and she may notice those imperfections if she’s picky.

I’d rip the ceilings out in those areas and hang new.

I’ve always heard it’s easier, quicker, and not much more expensive to go this route. When the previous owners of our house “renovated” they chose to knock down the old texture and mud it. Some areas look horrid and are on my punch list to replace eventually.

And drop all the insulation and 60+ years of attic shite into your home? No thanks. Adding a 2nd layer is infinitely easier and much cleaner.
