Ceiling, Pt. II

We continued work on the downstairs ceiling today. I helped Mike, Jamie and Nick by picking up pieces of metal framing (whatever it's called!) and carrying long pieces of molding out to the garage for storage. It was a lot of work (mostly for the guys)  but like Mike said, if we can get a little done at a time it's an accomplishment. Mike says he's going to have professionals do the actual new ceiling because he hates working with sheet rock (again, whatever it's called!). I'm glad he says that because I don't want to see him frustrated. Hiring someone who knows what he's doing is smarter and faster--and probably cheaper in the long run!

Poor Rocky slept through most of it, until Jamie had to move his cage. Then he was probably wondering what the heck was going on!

It should be noted that the nitwits who put up this ceiling 21+ years ago used nails instead of screws, making the task of removing it that much harder!
