have just gutted the uopstairs of my house and changed nearly everything except the floor joists, im going to start on the downstairs soon new but have noticed that the downstairs ceiling in the kitchen at least is a hell of a mess prob the most uneven ceiling u can get ( i noticed it wealking down the stairs) its artex now and im just goin to plasterboard it, problem is i dont want a bumpy ceiling. will it be more noticable without artex? or how can i even it out? it is pretty bad when looking across it. The ceilings are only 2.1 downstairs so cant really drop them much more. Any ideas? im not changing the joists now!!
