From Destruction to Construction


Joe, risking his health, came over to help again. The task at hand today was to remove the last of the plaster/lath and clean up the room to allow for the reconstruction of the room. As we cleaned, the Royals won game three of their four game series against the horrid Seattle Mariner club by a score of 5-3.



Now that the room is cleaner (relatively), I eyed down one of the ceiling joists and found that they had a belly, meaning they sagged in the center of the room. Now don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with having a bit of a belly, but it's not good for hanging sheet rock on ceilings. I'll need to tie the ceiling in with the roof joists for support to help straighten the load.

Here's a pic of the slight slope in the ceiling.


It was a little dusty sweeping up all that plaster and old insulation.


Much better.
