This past week we have worked hard to raise the ceiling on the second floor. Prior to this week, the ceiling throughout all of the second floor was about 7'4"...not very tall. Trent researched all about ways to raise the ceiling without "compromising the integrity" of the roof (his words, not mine). So, he managed to find a way to keep everything supported and still gain us an extra 2 feet! The upstairs bedroom will have a pseudo-cathedral ceiling at 9'6" and the bathroom will be just a little over 8'. I've included photos of the upstairs to show the difference.
Just a little tid-bit we learned this week: don't work on the highest point of a house (2nd story ceiling) when it's 90+ degrees outside.
