hitting the ceiling

For the last few days it's been the downstairs ceilings: plasterboard up between the beams. As the beams aren't straight, each bit of plasterboard has to be shaped to fit. And I've been adding metal rails as cross-pieces to strengthen the boards at the ends and where they join. This might not strictly be needed.
Here's one in progress:



It will also need a round hole for the spotlight (that's the conjectural spotlight which will eventually replace the bare bulb)

And this below is a bit that's been done and is ready for painting (well, almost - it's no doubt best to sand it a bit smoother first). I am hoping that a good thick coat of white paint over everything will make it all look a bit better. At present you really can see the joints between the boards (Caro has being doing all of these, loads of filler in all the many gaps I left) and the wall where the electrician cut a channel to take the conduits for the plug point below. We will find out shortly, one way or the other, as very soon this corner is going to have the wardrobes installed, and it has to be painted first.

Not much else to do - it's been raining hard today. And still is.



You can see how the beams slope, but the plasterboard (which is level with the floor above) sits nicely horizontal. But it looks crooked (and always will I imagine).
