I have to go buy one more roll of plastic tomorrow and I will be all ready for painting the ceiling. Looks like in going with the flat black latex paint, prime the metal vents. I cleaned off as much dust as I could but I know there's more up there. I hope it doesn't affect things. I hate paint haha I hate it so much. It'll be good to get this out of the way though.
The studs are all up. You can kind of see them behind the plastic. Masonite will be go on the studs. Then I'll use drywall patch compound to smooth over any screw holes or ridges. Then the backdrop will go up (I'm thinking adhesive back) and at that point, I'll finally be ready to put up a table. I might sound tired in this post (I'm exhausted) but I am excited to get a real table up finally! Especially with the 2-10-10-2 on the way in January.
