Reply to comment by Sometimes_Stutters in Power Sander VS Skim Coat on these walls by meldy54

Maybe I didn’t word my question well, but I would like to make the walls flat again and remove the texture, any idea what the best method for that would be?

You don’t. The texture is inherent to plaster walls. Both sanding or skim coating are absolute bears of projects, and you’d be hard pressed to make it look as good as drywall. Probably just as well to replace the drywall entirely (which is also a ridiculous project).

My recommendation would be to learn to live with it.
