[* black] Prepare the opening for the new piece: pull nails and remove any screws on the underside of the rafters to ensure a flat mounting, and use the 6" taping knife to skim away a swath of the popcorn texture along the edges of the undamaged ceiling surrounding the opening. Pic 1.
-[* icon_note] Screws in side rafters are ++angled ++because you are fastening to half a rafter—a straight-in screw may miss the rafter altogether.
[* icon_note] If the opening needs insulation replaced, do it now.
