Finishing painting the ceiling

After a week of painting over my head and standing on scaffolding, the living room ceiling has three coats of paint and looks clean and bright.  I can only imagine how Michael Angelo must have felt painting overhead for four years in the Sistine Chapel.
Attached two copper ceiling pendant lights and the old vintage Hunter fan right out of Casa Blanca.
The living room continues to get brighter and happier.

This first picture was taken during the demolition phase where new wood was added as needed. Also. steel rods had to be added every  6 feet, anchored into concrete,  to tie the roof down to the ground. The ceiling fan was hanging just as a prop to help us visualize the future :0)

The first coat of primer begins. I really like  a product called "Gripper" made by Glidden. 
This picture and the next show how dark the ceiling was.


After three coats of paint on the ceiling and the drywall prepped for paint and the fan hung and wired

After the drywall getting painted white


After the copper lights being hung. We can now begin see how 
the room will appear when finished
