Ceiling Installed

Image
I managed to get the ceiling installed in our future temporary bedroom the other day. It is looking good! Yesterday, my spine was killing me from all the crouching (while cutting) and then standing (while installing each piece of planking)... over and over... one piece at a time. Actually, my spine is feeling almost as poorly as it gets since my original injuries. Any change in position sends a huge wave of pain to my lumbar spine and my feet.   Regardless of all the spinal pain, I managed to get the ceiling installed and then I managed to install the lighting yesterday.  The room is coming together slowly but surely. I made these ceiling planks from a few sheets of luaun underlayment so the cost was very affordable. It did require some work, however.  I needed to rip the sheets of plywood into 8" wide strips... stain each piece... then polyurethane each piece. This job was toughest on my spine because of all the up and down, crouching, stretching, reaching, etc. Logistica
