I want to remove ceiling wallboard in my bedroom and replace it with suspended ceiling panels. Mice have nested up there, left spots and it smells. There is rolled insulation between the ceiling joists (which mice love to nest in I’ve discovered).
Any tips to help make a messy job less so?
Using a hammer and prybar would probably be efficient, but I would like to cut down on the dust, mess, etc.
I thought I might use a utility knife where the walls meet the celing to cut through the seam, find each drywall screw in the ceiling with a screw/nail magnet indicator, drill them out, and hopefully lower wallboard in larger sections this way.
Is there a better way?
Any good technique for getting drywall plaster out of drywall screw heads to accept drill bit? Wire brush attachment on drill maybe?
