Renovation project - The vaulted ceiling is plaster boarded

Renovation project - The vaulted ceiling is plaster boarded
The plaster boarding takes a few days to install, mainly because we are having a vaulted ceiling, with the joists on show. This means putting pieces of board on very high spots.
I just wished we had a video of this piece of work.
At one point it consisted of John on the top of the ladder with the board perched on his head (who needs specialist tools when you have a big man) and me at the other end with an upside down broom, holding the end in place.
Though even I had a bit of a panic watching ohn on the top of a ladder holding a piece of plasterboard over the drop where the stairs are!
This is probably not the safest way of plasterboarding a ceiling, but it was the most efficient for us.

The room looks so different when it is finished, hopefully the temperature will go down by the time he is ready to plaster the joints and fix the walls.

  1. I like the exposed beams and high ceiling very much. Glad this circus trick ended well. Kids, don't try this at home!
