Back on track?

After all the holiday mess, I've started to get back into working on the basement. Am I back on track? Possibly. I started with a small step and finished off the mudding on the ceiling of the stairwell/hallway. Got it to the point of final paint and new lighting fixtures installed. That entailed mudding with a 6" trowel, priming with a drywall priming paint, then a finish coat of ceiling flat paint. Got my light fixtures via amazon, as nothing local was overly impressive.

First coat on the walls as well...

Look of the hallway from the basement living room.

First coat of mud on walls and ceiling.

Hard to see, but ceiling all done.

Little easier to see. All complete on ceilings.
