The Ceiling

... Is progressing nicely! And will not be nearly as difficult to finish as I anticipated (knock on wood). Here are some pix of the first panel of planking. There are seven of these roughly 6 x 8 sections, partitioned off by the boxbeams. We'll be painting this in an antique white (let's be honest--we'll be paying someone to spray paint this one...). I am very pleased, and VERY proud of Eric, who has engineered the crap out of this ceiling.
