The ceiling is up I tell you! Well, I know that everyone knows that ceilings are up -- but the ceiling in our addition has been installed. I snapped a photo to show how cool it really looks. There are holes cut out for lights -- which is quite important. A special router tool helps make perfect holes.Putting the ceiling up is quite the engineering feat. This special contraption (and I am not sure what the name of this machine is) holds the sheetrock pieces flat against the trusses, while the installers screw it into place. A piece of sheetrock is quite heavy. I am not sure of the actual weight, but I can't life one myself! A piece is about 16 foot long!
The walls are going to be installed tomorrow. Then the seams will be taped and mudded. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? All it all, Mr. Fixit believes that they will be paintable by the end of the week. Now that really is exciting news!
