Quick update here:

Finally finished taping, painting, texture, and got the vinyl stripes up. The trim is also up, and electrical finish is underway. Just need to paint the trim and do teh electrical, then epoxy the floor.

I ended up doing very little sanding, just a little bit around the big joints that were in hard to get smooth places. All in all, post texture and paint, you can't really tell, it all turned out great, and I'm glad I didn't spend too much time.

I did learn that I HATE ceiling work of any kind, especially on 10' and 12' ceilings. I should have budgeted for more Advil in my project.

If you're doing any painting, use a Paint Stick, lots of variations on this, but it's basically a big reservoir for paint in the handle that you "suck" into it and then push as you roll. Big time saver.

I am taking a bit of a break from painting, so expect to finish the electrical this week, then finish up the trim painting and on to the floor. Can't wait to finish it all.

A note on the stripes and the brown.

The floor will be light brown epoxy, and the brown is a fleck color. The Cobra will be Orange, hence the stripe.
