installing, hanging, laying, the ceiling...

Here we have started putting up the ceiling in the kitchen. It's really quite easy, and fun! Since the kitchen requires wider panels to go up, we do it together, shawn takes up one side of the panel, and I the other. Then we pass the pneumatic hammer between us. Penny generally watches us as closely as she can. Penny doesn't like to be on the floor while we are up on ladders, so what she does is use me as an intermediate launch pad for getting on top of the refrigerator. And from there, she watches, totally amazed!

It's looking really pretty and goes fast, we expect to finish it up this afternoon, and then work on the mudroom ceiling.

Next purchase is a table saw...the thing we didn't want to buy till absolutely necessary. We'll use it for the flooring too and much of our trim work. But in the meantime, another photo or two and then it's time to get to work!
