Front Parlor Ceiling
Earlier I had posted the beginning of the lamination process to deal with the ceiling in the front parlor.

We had wanted to save the remaining detail there, and clean up the field as best we could without a major replastering project being on our hands. We did that by "laminating" thin sheetrock to the existing cracked and hole-filled ceiling, covering up the problem areas, and then taping and spackling the sheetrock. The thinness of the sheetrock still allows the remaining detail to have depth.

Peter,
Very nice. Everything is coming along nicely. You know, when you're all done, the entire Brownstoner community is coming over together to see it.

That might be a fun event, we'd just have to screen out all the haters. Or give them their own kids' table.
