The Ancient Basement–the Ceiling

Well, I had hoped to be posting about the stone walls in the basement, BUT my husband cut lumber for the basement with a friend and he brought home the pine furring strips for the ceiling so that we will have a way to attach the beadboard to the ceiling when the time comes. So, in the long run, that saved us a lot of time because he only handled the boards once instead of unloading them and stacking them and then unstacking them and loading and unloading them to put up.

I bought him these handy things to hold the board in place while he nailed it.

He was dubious at first, but said later that they really were a huge help. This would have been my job without them, so I was able to scrape more doors–the never ending project. Scraping doors is on my agenda for this week too.

Meanwhile, our stone veneer and corners is waiting patiently on the driveway.
