Great job! Did you paint all exposed vents, electrical housings, pipes, returns, etc black? any issues painting those different types of surfaces ?

[@buildingbluebird]

I painted everything! No issues because nothing gets touched on the ceiling so it has stayed on all of the surfaces

[@JoePalos91]

How loud is the impact noise from upstairs did you do anything to mitigate that?

[@WES03R1]

What do with the white pvc sewage lines and the other lines hanging below the joists?

[@buildingbluebird]

We painted over them!

[@WES03R1]

Well that works. I didn’t even notice them and thought you reworked them somehow
