Ceiling is up!!

Today we finished putting up the sheetrock for the ceiling!  We used 5/8″ drywall for the ceiling.  As you can see from some of the pictures with Katie, I made a “T” brace to hold up one end of the sheetrock while I screwed it into the ceiling joists.  Once up, I used my dremel with a drywall attachment to make the circular cutouts for the preinstalled recessed lights

I almost have all of the OSB plywood down over the wood plank subfloor.  A product called “Ditra” which is a 1/8″ thick roll of flexible plastic will be applied to the plywood and then the tile over the Ditra.

Within the last week I was able to get new insulation stapled into the exterior walls.  Here is a picture link that describes what is going on with the long exterior wall of the kitchen before we put up the sheetrock (1/2″ thick) on the walls.  Hopefully the walls can get done this week.
