I began the physical work of my project and started with removing the popcorn ceiling. I began by wetting the texture with a heavy coat of water. In the second picture, you can see me using a tool with a trash bag attached that caught all the debris. I eventually decided that this wasn't the best way to do it and switched to a putty knife and trashcan which is not pictured. I also began removing the outlet covers on the ceiling and walls.

This is me removing the old baseboards in the basement. I did this using a crow bar and a putty knife. The putty knife if used to protect the wall and provide a space between the wall and baseboard for the crowbar to get in.
