the ceiling came down, the ceiling goes back up.

Today will be the third, and hopefully final day of the first part of the ceiling replacement. This layer has been added for sound proofing to stop noise traveling both up to and down from the flats above. The space between each beam is different and different at both ends, so each one has to be individually measured, cut to fit and screwed in place, this is partly why it takes such a considerable time, not to mention the ducking and diving under pipes and wires that has to be done!

Note, the little holes in the beams are not woodworm, no fear, they used to house thousands upon thousand of nails, that held the last ceiling up I guess, and all had to be painstakingly removed.

Cassie and I joined the men yesterday, and cassie is also there now, finishing the job.
