After we finished the "tack room" ceiling, we tackled the dining area. The remaining 1x8's were pretty badly stained, so we spent a few hours running them through the planer to clean them all up.
The hardest part was cutting around the logs.
Gerald was beginning to wonder whose bright idea it was to use the logs in the first place.
But then he got the idea to use a piece of cardboard as a template, which worked very well.
The rest of the ceiling went fairly smoothly. The biggest problem was drawing in bowed boards, but it didn't seem to take long to get it all done.
