Since my last post, we've finished painting all the ceilings. Most of the walls are also done. Everything is getting two coats. The only walls we haven't painted are the two extra bedrooms, the closets, the laundry room, and the bathrooms. Those won't take much time because they're so small.
I've used two brands of paint: Behr and Benjamin Moore. I'm sure they are both fine products as far as quality goes, but I've noticed a difference in how they go on. Behr goes on with a nice consistency and covers very well on the first coat. BM seems thinner, and takes a good second coat to cover everything. The first coat soaks in and lets a lot of the white primer show through. Now, it doesn't matter because I'm using two coats no matter which brand I paint with. But it was a noticeable difference.
Here are some recent shots of the painted rooms, starting with the tile I'm probably going to use laid against the TV room wall:
Also, here is the concrete pad we made for the air conditioner unit in the backyard:
