Well, finally a day of building instead of tearing apart :) Since the new beam is in, we can now cover the addition area ( that used to be the breezeway ).
All the ceilings in the house, true to Mid Century heritage, are tongue and groove 2" x 6" planks locked together. It makes for a very nice ceiling, but trying to match a 50 year old existing ceiling turns out to be more of a challenge than we thought.
We started out with a few planks nailed into place, but realized there is an up and down side to T&G planks.
One side is meant to be facing down to create the groove, the other side facing the sky is meant for roofing materials and is total flat with no groove.
Thankfully we only had a couple of boards laid and fixed the problem right away.
Now, as you can see by the pictures, we have a really beautiful new ceiling to look at in the Master Bedroom.
Now...back to demo.... and getting ready to trench for new electrical, water and gas.
