Sag no more.

Okay, have you ever tried to capture ceiling sag via camera? Next to impossible. The only way to explain it -- this beam in the picture below?  It is sitting on the top of the cabinets -- pinched between the sagging ceiling and the cabinet. 

Okay, now check this out -- after James nailed up the ceiling to the new joists -- a HUGE difference!

Did I say see you "tomorrow?" :-)

Another day, another hole in the ceiling...  James made yet another cut to continue the kitchen joisting. (is that a word?)

Charis decided to get a shot of me "helping."
