Put in a T&G poplar ceiling, Framed the non structural trusses over the last couple weeks part working after my regular job and on Saturdays
Today we got the beams wrapped except for the cap on the bottom
All poplar wood to be painted Semi gloss white I hear.
Here is the Final Product They but an opaque stain on the ceiling and painted the trusses

That's a shame!
I'd clear coat it.

I said that same thing to the contractor
Painting that white is bordering on criminal! A nice coat of oil would really look nice on that.
Like the look,,,,,Well done.[;)]
Just for the record I'm glad you're doing that. I don't get any higher than the breakfast table,,,,,[:o)]
The bottom of my feet hurt like crazy after spending time up on that scaffolding, the only thing I can think of why that would be, they keep trying to grip the planks like hands.
One of the downfalls of using poplar as a stain grade wood is it stains up real splotchy and doesn't look all that well, there are ways to fix that though.
What an ignominious end to such fine work. [V]
I had to look at it again, if they paint that I would consider all your hard work and craftsmanship wasted. A total waste of time. You can always paint it later.
Which brings to mind that we have not seen an update lately of the house being built by the Artist formerly known as Cartod. [;)]
The "gap" at the top of the wall beam where it hits the ceiling is by design to allow some LED lighting along the length of the walls
I am with everyone else. Only a fool would paint it white. Tung seed oil for the T&G, stain the trusses and ridge beam and let the grain show.
one of the times a good * whippin and restitution would come into play [:(!]

Cops around here don't get much into stuff like that. I don't know maybe they figure the property damage covered by insurance is low on their priority list. But you would think they would at least spend a morning going around talking to moms in the neighborhood who might interested in what their kids are doing, or asking if they have seen any body with bb guns walking around. In similar circumstances like this all I have gotten was a card with a case number on it, in case I have more information and a letter 90 days later saying they are dropping the case
