Today we ripped a many more sheets of plywood on the table saw and began attaching it to the ceiling as more backing for the lath and plaster to follow. I learned long ago that any work done on a scaffold generally takes two or three times as long as working with one's feet firmly planted on the ground. It is certainly etrue as we strap the ceilings now as well. Each piece of lumber and everything else must be brought up the scaffold and then screwed in place. Progress is steady if not fast and the vaulted and curved ceilings are starting to look pretty good. This view is from the dining room looking towards the kitchen.

In another ten days or so the ceilings will be ready for the concrete sculpting. That will change everything in a hurry. I can hardly wait!
