Splinters

Monday we worked on the ceiling in the second kid's room. Jason parked the blue machine outside our bedroom window where I had my work station set up. I pulled the boards through the window and already got a splinter from the very first board. Good start!
I love how it turned out. It was not as easy going as the first bedroom we completed due to the difference of fence pickets. After closer inspection, there was an assortment of at least four widths. The difference was not enough for the eye to notice but we had to put them in sections so each row stayed straight. This added one more step of measuring each board. Then, these boards were wider. This meant the saw did not cut the entire board with one chop so the boards had to be cut twice-once from each side to cut the entire thing. So these were minor obstacles we were not expecting, but the main thing is the end result looks great...and we did get to the end result just shy of 11:00. A much more enjoyable (and most likely not as late-I am old now!) late nighter than college days when studying for an exam.
A closer look
And this last picture was to show the difference between the two rooms (as much as you can tell with the night lighting.) The closest is the room we did first and the farthest is the room we completed Monday night.
One more thing looking terrific.
