Problem: Because the bathroom has no fan, the moisture in the room has no place to escape. Whenever I take a shower or a bath the walls and ceiling literally drip with moisture. This has caused damage to the ceiling, so it’s flaking off in places and just generally scummy.

Solution: I’m going to try to scrape off all of the textured material on the ceiling. I don’t know if it’s plaster or spackle or what - but it’s coming down! Hopefully I can get the ceiling down to a nice, flat, smooth surface and give it a good coat of paint.

Tools: Most of the textured ceiling will be removed with a hand scraper and a lot of elbow grease. Then I can hopefully smooth it out with an electric sander.
