The ceiling is done


Some projects that keep getting put off are finally getting accomplished.  Because someone else is doing them!!!! That’s right; we hired someone to install the OSB boards on the ceiling of the shop. We had the insulation put up last fall with the plans to have someone put the ceiling boards up soon after.  Well, it was then Christmas and you know how our life changed after that.  So here it is one year later and I noticed the other week that some of the insulation is coming loose.  Without some kind of support insulation can hang all by its lonesome for about 9 months before it starts falling down with gravity.  Well, we didn’t pay someone to install it to find it all on the floor someday so before that happened Bill Elliott came to the rescue. That’s right; he just raced on over and installed the OSB boards. Now the shop is all secure: warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer and quieter all year round.  Yes his name is really Bill Elliott, just like the race car driver, but I am sure he is nicer.  We have a lot in common. He has chickens, a garden, loves to can and is pretty self-sufficient. The big difference? He is a master carpenter. Aren’t we lucky as he is new to town and in need of work.  I can already envision all sorts of projects that he can do for us. So here he is hard at work with his son Tyler. Pat is well pleased with it and is itchin to get back into the shop and get to work on some projects.

 Coming together with all seams caulked. It's amazing how much quieter it is now.
The most time consuming part was finishing the dormers as they were an add on. It's amazing how much additional light these give off once they were painted white.
 Very bright and clean looking
