Once rough electrical, plumbing, and insulation were signed off, I hung drywall, taped, mudded, and sanded the whole main floor. Three coats on every seam, sanded between, then primed and rolled. Matched the new ceilings to the existing arched openings I kept from the original layout. Joint compound buckets lined the room for a couple weeks straight.

Before Drywall taped, miter saw set up for trim, paint staged at Leonia. Everything ready to prime.
