Now that we've gotten past all of the concerns about how we were going to make our plumbing work down under our floors, it's time to turn our attention upwards to our the action going on up above on the ceilings. This week the team continued to make great progress on framing and started work on dropping the ceilings in certain areas. While in the main living spaces our of place, we want to take full advantage of our 14 foot tall loft, in the back areas we're playing with levels a little bit. It's looking very cool.
You may recall from early pictures that in the back of our apartment, there was a great, big white box hanging from the ceiling to cover the dropped plumbing from the 3rd floor apartment.
Bye, Bye, Big Ugly Box!
As you can see, it was a bit of an eyesore--and this week we bid it adieu. In it's place is an elegant and very cool hanging ceiling that still covers the plumbing, but because its slimmer in depth and wider in breath, it adds an interesting new level to guest room area.
Now that our ceilings are strong enough to stand on, of course we had to get up there and check out the view. Here are some shots...
We're putting a skylight over the master bath shower. True, you won't actually be able to see the sky, but we think it's kinda neat-o anyway.

We sure hope our 3rd floor neighbor appreciates the fact that we're housing their plumbing cause, dang, it's a big ugly mess.
