There are a number of options depending on what you want in the end.
-Scrape it and sand it smooth
-Scrape it and texture it
-Don't scrape and cover with thin drywall
-Don't scrape and cover with decorative ceiling tiles
-Don't scrape and cover with planked wood
We moved furniture to one side of the room, then work the open space. Then move it all back to the area we just finished and worked that side. Only one room was affected at a time and only during 9-4. Kids would come home from school and everything was clean and normal. I guess you could turn anything into a giant waste of money and scream horrors by removing all the furniture from the home, water abatement, ac system cleaning.....blah blah blah. I can make the baking of a cake sound like a multi-day process.
The difference is.......we have actually done it......several times.
