Skim coating dining room

Progress is being made downstairs. Finished skimcoating the dining room walls over the weekend. As you can see from the pics, its not yet dry. Just have to sand her smooth then the paint begins!

Technical note for myself. When adding water to joint compound, mix it very well. The mud seems to be slightly aerated (little air pockets in it) so if those are still in it when you apply the mud, you'll have little bubbles on your wall when you sand it smooth. I was afraid over mixing could introduce bubbles but that wasn't the case.
