My new 20' X 24' building will soon be a woodshop. I have sheetrocked the inside, taped, mudded and sanded. I am wondering if I am ready to paint or should I give it a bit more attention? There are a few places where I sanded to the tape and made a fuzzy, in each case no more than 2" long. If I am not looking for perfection, should I go ahead and paint or do you think I need to go over fuzzies with more mud and sand again. Painting plan is to prime (latex) and follow with semi-gloss or satin finish coat (white). Perhaps I should prime over a fuzzy to see what it looks like? Your thoughts?

I have a kitchen ceiling that I have to finish, it is currently drywalled and we would liek to apply a textured finish to it. I am pretty comfortable that i can do the job myself, i just have never done it and need to know what types of things I would use to apply the ceiling and the basics. Would thinned out joint compound work for this along with a textured roller? Thanks again!!!!!
