Renovation Progress Report #5 -- Hanging the Sky

We quit for the weekend! Hanging the ceiling has been quite a challenge, and we are tired. We will work at the project in the evenings this week and maybe by next Monday we will be able to move back into the office. We are satisfied with what we got done this weekend. I think we both knew we had set our goals too high to move back in tonight.

Fastening the first sheet of the ceiling

This is what the ceiling looks like when you look straight up.

Mary's Dad and Elma stopped in for a while. They didn't know they were going to have to work if they came this weekend. Mary had built a frame to hold each sheet of ceiling up and flat while we fastened it. Her Dad helped to hold the sheet up while we aligned it and fastened it.

We have one more big sheet of ceiling to put up and then one foot pieces along the one side. After that is finished, we will put the trim on the top of the walls, put the carpet in and add the trim to the bottom of the walls. Then, I think, it will be ready to move back into again.
