Pink to White

Progress continues on our master bedroom walk-in closet project which involves connecting the previous closet to an adjacent room to make for a very spacious walk-in. Among the challenges, the original closet has a textured ceiling that will not blend very well with the smooth finish of the adjacent room. It is easier to give the textured areas a skim coat of drywall mud than it is to try and remove the texture. I am using a spackling compound that goes on pink and turns white when dry. I have been trying to put in one hour a day on the project and it is now getting closer to the end than the beginning.
