Finished up all of the insulation so it's time to cover it up!
Picked up some tongue and groove cedar paneling to install in the ceiling. The paneling is incredibly thin and delicate thus making it a real pain to install, but I got into a groove and made some good progress.
Here's what I decided to do to provide some additional support around the recessed lights. Seems to work pretty well.
After finishing up the loft I tackled the cathedral ceiling.
Almost there.
And here's the finished product. Super happy with the results. Another step closer towards looking like a home. I temporarily wired up the lights to a couple of batteries to test them out. It's nice to be able to use the wall switches and have those work lights out of the way.
And now I've been working on the walls. We decided to go with a 5mm pine underlayment. It's fairly light and inexpensive and it won't crack like drywall when the house eventually needs to be relocated. The plan is to paint it white once it's all installed.
Hoping to finish installing the walls in the next few days so my brother can come back and help finish up all of the electrical. Almost time to move in!
