Back to the ceiling

Now that the floor is finally done, it's time to go back to the ceiling.  I had to move everything...  Lots of open space now.

The drywall jack is very useful for bringing down the joists nicely.

Since the floor is level now, I decided to just measure to 8'1" on each side and put in a nail on each side to rest the joist on once I got it up.

I'm definitely glad I waited to do the ceiling until I had the floor to work from.  This is how level the joist was after the first try, and this took much less time than in the master bedroom.

And this is what the first one done looks like.
