Bead Board Ceiling
This was one of the hardest jobs I've tackled at my old house. As a little girl I remember the high ceilings but at some point in the early 1970's the ceilings were lowered to eight feet in a few of the rooms. The living room happened to be one of them. After scraping and breaking apart sheet rock there were sheets of plywood that also had to be torn down. Holding the plywood were studs framed to the original ceiling. This was a tough job but I was so thankful to have my boy over to help me (he looked like he was having a good time!) He truly was a life saver that day because I couldn't have done all that work by myself (that crow bar in my hand was put to good use). It took the whole day to demolish the ceiling and of course clean up was my job. To my absolute delight above all that work was the original 14 ft. bead board ceiling. I couldn't wait to get it all cleaned up so I could showcase my new ceiling that had been hidden for decades!
