Ceiling sheetrock

I started work this week at the avalanche center, and couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my first weekend than by hanging sheetrock on the ceiling. Being inexperienced drywallers to say the least, can't say this was the easiest place to start. But I guess the ceiling drywall is ALWAYS done first...

We rented a sheetrock lift which was a godsend, or we just called it "God" for short. It took some getting used to, and the miracles it performed were always just shy of perfect. I guess we should call it "god" without the capital G. Anyhow, after two days we had finished the ceiling except in the bathroom where Sara's plumbing vents need to stay exposed for her inspection. I thought recessed lights were the best thing since sliced bread - easy to install and nice light. We figured out their downside when we had to cut out all the damn holes, and the trim doesn't allow for much slop.

You can see from one of the photos that we got our chimney installed a few days ago.
