Anatomy of a tray ceiling...

I haven't got any new projects running yet, so I thought I would update the blog with some previous projects. This is the breakdown of the tray ceiling I added to the sunroom. I wanted to give the room a higher ceiling, and this seemed like the best way to do it. The original ceiling was knotty pine paneling, which was dark and out-dated. Enjoy!


This is the initial framing of the tray. it took about two hours of labor.


Once the framing was done it was time to add insulation, lighting and drywall.



Halfway throught the drywall finishing...

Taped and ready for paint:)

Well, I've decided to start another blog, as I will once again begin work on the Duston Place house. The old blog was deleted for reasons unknown... so to bring you up to speed, I've posted some before and after pictures of my previous projects: kitchen, sunroom and living room. Enjoy!
