I removed the popcorn from the ceilings in three rooms in our old house. Easy to do, but a bit messy. You will really need to remove everything from the room you are going to do. Then lay throw away paper tarps down on the floor. Get a spray bottle and a 6" metal putty knife. Get up on your ladder and spray down a section of the ceiling within arms reach. You will get the hang of how much water to put on pretty quick. Wait about 30 seconds or so and the popcorn will scrape right off leaving the drywall in perfect condition. It will actually come off without the water, but the water makes the popcorn clump up and you don't have dust all over the room.
