I spent all day Sunday and Monday with my friend ,John Simpson, taking down the original ceiling material . It came down pretty easy but was a huge mess working overhead and having 100 years of dust and I am sure many other particles coming down in our face.
The good news is that the wood looks great.
Our plan is to have open ceilings to give a large feel to a small room. Also to expose the old pine tongue and groove roofing material. This will all eventually get painted white.
The wood you see at ceiling level in the photo is not structural and was used to hold up the hardboard ceiling material. It will get removed next week.
The ductwork seen will also get removed. All of the old wiring will get taken out soon and replaced with new wiring for lighting and ceiling fans. The new wire will be hidden behind the upper rafters.
John and I capped off the day with a few cold beers and a hamburger overlooking the beach :0)
