In the past couple of weeks we got the drywall hung, taped, and textured. I sprayed 15 gallons of primer on the walls and ceiling. It took a lot more than I thought it should, but oh well. Yesterday I sprayed the ceiling with white semi-gloss latex enamel. I'm not real crazy with how it turned out because you can see some stripes in the paint and unevenness from the sprayer. I overlapped 50% and put on 7 gallons of paint...seems like a lot. The shop is 1300 square feet with 10-foot stud walls (almost 11 feet high ceilings total) and there's a stairway and storage room under the stairs.
I also put the lenses on the ceiling lights. There are 11 fixtures with four 4-foot bulbs each, plus a group of 5 LED lights in a "sitting area".
Now I have to paint the walls, but I plan to roll the paint on them. Spraying semi-gloss doesn't seem to give a uniform sheen. I'll probably touch up the ceiling with a roller too.
After that I need to finish up the final electrical work, and get it signed off. I also need to hang the heater (we pre-hung it), pressure test the gas line, and install the exhaust stack. Then I am going to blow in R30 in the ceiling to finish off the insulation work.
I'm trying to get this all done before it gets too cold here. I need to get heat back into the old shop at least. Still trying to decide what to do with the floor. I'm not moving anything in there until the floor is finished...I did that in the other shop and the floor never got done.
