Question:

The only sad part is that i can't sleep in on saturdays. my question is about getting california ceiling texture in my basement ceiling. It's only 12X18 area and I would love to do it myself but I can't find anyone at the local hardware stores to guide me.

Answer:

Try getting in touch with someone who specializes in decorative ceilings. They'll know all about where to find things like this.
