NO! MORE! OVERHEAD! PIPES! EVER!
Dec. 5th, 2002 09:48 pm...well, not in the hallway, anyway...
Guh, I'm tired. But here, have some lovely pictures of the new ceiling in the hallway. I've also put in all the wood putty to cover all the holes atop the countersunk nails, and a few other places as well. Tomorrow, I can sand it. I might even be able to start staining the stuff that gets stained. (That would be the 1" square boards that make up the new ceiling's support structure, and the vertical piece of trim that goes all the way up to the ceiling from the floor. The other trim gets painted.) I hate sanding, but, well, it'll be good.
All these pictures aim kind of up, because that's where I've been working today.
Here's the view from the basement doorway:

And here's what it looks like from Rebecca's living room:

The point of this shot is to show the decorative board, and how it bridges the two different levels of the ceiling. (Don't ask. It's not my fault.)

And this is what the hallway looks like from Mimi's kitchen; it also shows the other side of the decorative board, and hopefully gives you an even better idea of how the two ceilings are connected together.
