So we just bought a foreclosure that we intend to fix up and live in for a couple years before hopefully making a decent profit. This is the second house we've flipped but the first was a super quick job that we didn't need to put much into. My goal this weekend is to get rid of these big ugly plaster ceiling medallions some crack head put up in 3 rooms. They are all darkly colored. They all have design grooves cut through them. And worst of all they have an outer lip. So I can't really just fill the grooves in - the whole thing needs to be sanded down or scraped off or something. Any of you homeowners got any thoughts on this project? Attachments:

They most likely have some screws in them even if glue was used. Look for any sign of screws first. If so remove.
Then cut the caulking around from the outside edge that seals it to the ceiling/paint. Get a 6" spackle/putty knife and a hammer. Try to loosen it from the edges.
If you aren't keeping them.. hack away. Then repair the ceiling. Let me know if you need to know what to use there. (best to start out with hard fill (big gashes) and finish with easy sanding stuff)
I've done some construction/painting work. Is that what you were looking for?

Thanks BTTB. That was along the lines of what I was looking for.
Except these things aren't glued or screwed into the ceiling - it's just a big ass glob of what looks like ceiling plaster that some jagoff slapped up there and then tried to swirl around into a design. Ugly as sin. Let me try and post the pic again.

Big ass sledgehammer should get you started then replace with drywall.

Flats, the issue with the pics is they are too big. When I downloaded them to my computer I had to resize them.
