The Ceiling: Chapter 2

Happy Valentines Day! After finishing the back row of ceiling panels, I had 3 nights to prepare for Saturday morning when three guys were showing up to help hang the middle row of panels. I had to: take down 4 lights, remove the wiring for the Bendpak hoist, wrap the top of the hoist in towels to prevent scratching, remove the outlet for the large garage door opener, remove the garage door opener and brackets, and add a bit of framing so I can hang the garage door opener back up later. I finished at 11:30pm on Friday and the guys showed up at 7:30am Saturday.

A surface mount box will screw through the steel to the wood blocks.

Another 9.5 hours with what feels like not much to show for it. Once again we fought most the day getting the vapor barrier up and taped. I had thought with 4 of us working we would have gotten the entire middle section done. Oh well…progress is progress.

Another 5 hour day and we knocked out the rest of the row except sans one panel that we decided to table for the time being due to it requiring a difficult cut.

It had been frustrating but I was very happy with how it was looking.
