Tonight my right arm is pretty tired. I imagine that Annie's and Phoenix's right arms feel much the same. We started at eight this morning and ten hours later we had covered about 1,200 square feet of dining/living room ceilings with twenty-one quarter yard mixes of fiberglass reinforced concrete. Matt was kept busy on the ground floor running the paddle mixer and concrete pump. We were mudding from the eight foot level up to the crown of the ceiling at about eighteen feet.
As Phoenix and I finished off the mudding, Annie and Sarah started sponging the partially dried concrete behind us. Once we finished applying concrete we switched to sponging as well.
Tonight the ceilings looked spectacular. The arched ceiling over the bridge intersected with the big arch perfectly - just as we planned.
And with that the upstairs curved ceilings are done. Now it is down the lower floor. The curved ceiling in the lower hallway is fifty four feet long. Thankfully we'll have a few days for our arms to recover before the lower ceilings are ready.
