This past Memorial Day weekend my brother and great friend, and I put up the remaining tongue & groove (T&G) ceiling that needed to be done in our great room.
First we put up 2x12x12's for the temporary floor joists to work on while we put up the T&G. That took about three hours.
The next day we laid plywood on the temporary joists and screwed them down. Then we started putting up the T&G.
My brother did the cutting of the previously varnished boards while our good friend and I nailed the boards up. All in all it took 15 hours from the time the first temporary floor joist went up till we were 98% done. I will do the finish work over the next several days and then with the help of a neighbor, take down the plywood and temporary joists.
I will post the final pics when done however here are few during the process.
