You mentioned using a regular bug spray container for wetting the ceiling. Please, please add the fact that you're actually using water, not bug spray. I've known people who'd use the bug spray!

Very thorough and to the point. You built confidence in that although it will take some elbow grease to get the job done I can more than handle it! Thanks.
