Walls Primed, Ceiling Painted

Well, I got a lot done lately. After days of sanding and then touch ups and more sanding, I've finally painted. So... primed the ceiling and walls. And after that painted the ceiling with it's final coat of flat white paint. Will go through and look to see if I need to touch up any additional spots, as the primer makes imperfections easier to see, but after a quick look I only see a couple trouble spots that I've have to remedy.
Looks pretty cool as is though. I've have to decide on what color to paint the walls next...

I cut out the hole for the center channel speaker too, and pre-drilled holes for the tv mount.

Will keep the duct line painted white. 

Finished the hallway to the bathroom too, which is in darkness...

Mudding/sanding the duct probably took the most time.

And.. the back of the room.

A look at the fancy theatre lights finally installed.

Recap

The whole mudding process is a slow, tedious one that seems to keep going on and on. Especially when done solo. But, the light at the end of the tunnel is close. I just did a final coat of mud around the corners, as after trying to sand it, it wasn't up to snuff. And in doing that, I also added some more mud in the hallways so they are now complete and ready for some sanding too.

Here's a look at the living room as it is now...

More Mudding

Bit hard to see it on the walls, so I haven't taken any photos, but was at more mudding this weekend. Got a fair bit done on the walls and ceiling of the living room. It's going fairly well as I've put 2-3 coats on the walls and it's working out better than expected. Have had to use the utility knife quite a bit to cut away bubbles that have occurred in the drywall tape, but after cutting it away, the mud is laying flat, blemish free. Another coat on the walls, and it'll be time to sand...
