2x9 1/4...2 x 9 3/4...whatever they cut!!

This ceiling has been it's own set of challenges. Hand sawn ceiling joists for this ceiling were cut anywhere between 2 x 9 1/4 to 2 x 9 3/4. On top of that, we had the new plumbing which dropped down below the old and new joists to get the slant right for draining. Then we had the new joists which were 2 x 12's which dded up to quite the puzzle to put together to get the ceiling ready for the beadboard we are putting up. Here are some pics of the work in progress...

The little ones hanging out on the scaffolding-looking goofy!

Charles on the scaffoldng trying to figure out how to move the can lights low enough and then support them in the new framing and bridging the gap between heights with 2 x 4's.

The section over near he cabinets was pretty straight and didn't have any plumbing to contend with thank goodness.

Ben had fun with the chop saw. He was measuring, marking and cutting. Seth was on the scaffolding working with Charles.
