So I committed to redoing my in laws kitchen. First step is the ceiling. Currently they have a smooth ceiling and looks like they applied semi-gloss white paint at one point. It looks ugly. I'm going to apply some joint compound and give them a knockdown ceiling. My questions are:
1) with the current semi-gloss paint should I sand it to give it some texture for the compound to adhere to?
2) If I sand it, there are chances there is lead paint under the current paint, this is a house from the 50-60's. Should I be concerned if I sand it? I'll wear a mask and goggles, kitchen will be tarped up.
