This came with the house - might be worth about $10k restored - hopefully, I can sell it for $2-3k as-is

Dining room got 1st and 2nd coat today. It will get the touch-ups in a few. Stupid ass tape ripped off some paint.

on that ceiling framing you have right there, make sure to put cross member supports on them. Those 2x4’s with no cross supports are still weak.

if their isnt another floor that you will be on, ontop of that, I wouldnt really worry about it. But if it is a room above that you will be using, I recommend cross support.

thanks for the tip. There is nothing above it other than the attic. Personally, I wanted to rip out the ceiling and start from scratch but we are on a budget and time constraint at the moment. Maybe in a few years if we are still here.

Car storage - That will be a future project, I want to put in better electrical and put recessed lights in the lower walls too, that way you can shine them on the side of your car when you are working on it.
