I finished taping, sanding, plastering etc. on the sheet rock.
At last I taped off the edges of the walls and put paper all around the ceiling.
The first bucket had just a small amount of paint left from the last room. It was so thick that I wound up spreading it with a putty knife and using the roller only for even texture. The new can of texture paint was plenty liquid, so it went faster after that. But paint splashed and splattered everywhere. I was prepared with old clothes, plastic gloves, goggles and a head scarf (I know from experience that sanded paint is hard to get out of your hair). It's not as even as I would like but it's good enough for the inside of a washer/dryer closet.
Tomorrow we'll be finishing up so hopefully we can move the appliances inside. Note to self in future: do sheet rock and texture painting before laying down floor and ceiling materials. Also get some kind of mortar spreading tool instead of trying to use a putty knife.
