It depends on the type of texture you are trying to create. A "stipple" or "orange-peel" texture is created with a special spray gun that uses low air pressure and sprays a mixture of thinned sheet rock topping compound. Some people use a special brush to dab on a texture. Others have used sponges, trowels rags, rollers... just about anything that you can think of that would make a repeatable, uniform texture.

Was asbestos ever used in ceiling texture?
Yes. Some plasters and paints that were used to give texture to ceilings and walls did contain asbestos. But the only way to know whether a specific ceiling or wall plaster contains asbestos is to have it tested by a qualified laboratory.
How to Repair a Damaged Popcorn Ceiling?
Popcorn ceilings can be beautiful, however if damaged, the repair can be difficult. It is a method of putting acoustical advantages on the ceiling, yet is easy to apply and relatively cost effective. If you are repairing a hole in the ceiling, the hole needs repair before attempting to repair popcorn ceiling texture. When the damage has occurred from a water leak, the leak needs to be repaired before the ceiling. Ensure there is no other damage created from the leak, such as drywall or sheetrock that is soaked. If so, replace the damaged areas before repairing the ceiling. Create a smooth area around the damaged ceiling by sanding it smooth and removing the popcorn texture that already exists. Use a good primer coat before beginning to repair popcorn ceiling texture, otherwise the new coat of texture may not adhere to the ceiling. Compare the texture to make a match between the old and the new texture. A texture that is placed into paint is the best way to repair popcorn texture. Avoid using the spray on product. Using the paint-on texture method allows control of the product, in terms of the size and concentration needed. Purchase fine, medium or a coarser-grade to blend with your pre-existing ceiling texture. As you are painting the areas that are in need of repair, ensure you coat the areas that aren't in need as well to coat the ceiling uniformly. Before painting on the texture, an extra piece of wood or drywall can be painted with the paint-texture mixture to determine the balance of paint vs. popcorn. Applying the texture with a roller is great for the majority of areas. When the repair spot is too close to a wall, a brush of edging tool can get into the areas the roller is too large for. Roll once across the damaged area and allow to dry. Make a second or third pass through the area, until the spot matches the texture on the rest of the ceiling. Dry thoroughly before vacuuming ceiling or cob-webbing the area.

The corner. Where the floor meets a wall. Or the ceiling meets the wall. In the window sill. In a door way.
How high can you hit the ball on the back wall of a racquetball court before it is called out?
If the court has a back wall reaching all the way to the ceiling, the ball should never be called out. It is only out if the back wall of the court does not reach the ceiling, and the ball is out when it hits above the wall itself (perhaps into a net).
How high should you install a co alarm?
Most CO alarms are designed to be placed the same way as smoke alarms: within about a foot of the ceiling on a vertical wall or directly on the ceiling at least a foot from the wall. CO is slightly buoyant in air, so it mixes with a tendency to rise and accumulate in a ceiling layer.

What kind of painter's tape can be used on a rough ceiling?
Textured or "rough" ceilings are not good candidates for taping. Often the texture is sprayed on and therefore susceptible to peeling and damage. A better system of masking is to use a painting shield, they come in several sizes and forms. The method of use, is to put the shield over the ceiling and tight up to the wall. Paint up to the shield, then move it to the next section. Be sure to wipe all paint from the shield each time you use it and always put the same side against the ceiling. You don't risk getting paint on the ceiling that way.
How can I swag a cathedral ceiling fixture to the wall the ceiling stud is too far away and the fixture is too heavy and no attic access?
You can supply the voltage to the swag from a wall box but the whole purpose of a swag fixture is to have it hang from the ceiling.You are going to have to find a way to support the fixture. If you can not get support from behind the ceiling then the support is going to have to be on the exposed surface side that you can see. You will probably have to span two ceiling joists and hang the fixture some where in between them to suit your purposes.
