OK I just bought a new home that was built in the late 70's that has a heavy wall texture that appears to have been applied with a heavy nap brush in a swrill pattern. I would like to convert that to a orange peel finish. I have concluded the following and would like some advise if this is correct or another technique would be advised: 1. KNock down old texture as best I can with drywall knife 2. Skim coat wall with wall compound in both vert and horiz directions 3. Prime for texture 4. Texture allow to dry 5. Knock down to orange peel finish 6. Prime paint be happy! Please let me know!!!!

Need to replace all drywall . 1/2 bath. Ceilings and walls. Measures roughly 60" x 51" inches. Any help with where to find a cost estimator and advice?
