I little trick a painter friend of mine gave me is where the walls reach the popcorn ceilings, take a chisel about a half inch wide adn scrape the popcorn of the ceiling. Use the wall as a guide. Then when u paint the wall, u do not paint any of the popcorn. It is messy as the chisel scrapes off a lot of popcorn and it all lands on the floor, but that is what vacuums r for. Scape the ceilings throughout the house before u start painting. Makes the job a lot more manageable.
