the scrabble game ended badly.

This was taken by Efrem standing on his desk at work. There is no optical illusion: The ceiling really is that low.

This used to be my workstation.

I reluctantly wonder about who will call this space their office in the future.

It sits there, embedded in a ceiling tile over my desk, quite and unobtrusive. Its 2 openings empty and still. I fear that one day someone, in a control room somewhere, will flick the wrong switch, and put in motion an action with unconscionable consequences.

Did this on my 34th b'day.

After the storm, a lot of the hallway looks the same or worse.

This had to go! It was a drop in the ceiling made to fit plumbing in the upper floor. We removed the plumbing and the bump!

New floor poured and epoxied. Drywall up and painted as well as new drop ceiling and lights.

One of the new design elements required seals on doors as air flow from the factory area to the break-room needed to be limited.

taking down the drop ceiling.

These are all the tiles. I removed them all before Brian even came up to see what was all that noise.

Another shot inside the house.

This is what I wore to protect myself. I have a flannel shirt over my sweater, and my AmeriCorps hat to keep ceiling out of my eyes.

I also hit myself in the face with a ceiling tile. It is not really visible here.

This is what the bathroom looks like without the drop ceiling.

Drop-Ceiling Double Faced Signs

The kitchen addition is an interesting contrast. The drop ceiling is unfortunate; I wonder what's above it?

I finally started taking down the crappy drop ceilng in the living room too. I was worried the ceiling underneath was going to be trashed by all those nails from the furring strips, but it's still in suprisingly good shape.

Ah pictures

All walls got primed and 2 coats paint

Here is the floor without the rug. It was just held down with double-sided tape, which had dried out. Valerie and I just pulled it up the night before.

This is the condition of the ceiling under the drop. It is ugly and wallpapered.

Here's a better picture of the ceiling layers. There's actually some wall board in places but even that was put up with nails and is popping off and the seams are all messed up. Because of all the texture on the ceiling it wouldn't be easy to just patch either. I'm going to have to cover the whole thing with 1/4" drywall anyway.

Slim & co. fire up the crowd.

After such a long time, finally getting a renovated area

Late night

"Bristol based artist, Oshii Rowan was putting the finishing touches to his unicorn this week at The Galleries. Using bright, bold colours, Oshii said he had used motifs from Bristol’s coat of arms, as well as exploring other motifs in Bristol’s rich history with unicorns...

...He has also incorporated African Adinkra symbology from Ghana and the American piebald horse to represent the vibrant mix of cultures in the city. He said: 'I wanted a mix of old city with new potential which tell a story of past values and future ideas and to leave a feeling of optimism for the future.'..."

More about Unicornfest:

"A herd of unicorns will be displayed across Bristol this summer to raise money for Leukaemia Care. The organisers of Unicornfest have confirmed that the event will include 59 unicorn sculptures dotted across the city, each with its own design and story..."

Sauce: Unicornfest!
