I love the way you guys trimmed this out. Nice job. My husband is a skilled tradesman and preferred that we just spent the money on proper materials and so we used a T&G in the bedroom and furred out first because the house is old and still has the old lath. We just did not want to deal with the budget job of having plywood cut by someone else or take the time to rip it at home and fussing with spacing. Not to mention 8’ lengths would have created more work and we would not have been able to hand the pieces up to the second story window. It saved all that stair climbing. Sometimes its just better to spend the money to save the aggravation. The ceiling was quite irregular with a previous owners’ very poorly done patch job when a wall was taken out. Our job went quickly and now looks amazing without any cussing or yelling LOL!!!! We still need to trim it out. Hardest part was just handing each board up to the second story window and loading materials from the store. It took my husband and I 7 hours with breaks total to put up a 22’ x 11.5’ ceiling using 12’ pieces. Gotta love no seams! Thanks for sharing.
