An old boss told me the more hats you wear the more valuable you are, and I always have believed that. If you can do trim do that if you can find framing do that. Whatever pays the bills.

Re: This Is It, I'm Certain


This is what's got me all worked up on this job. I love making nice crown look good. There's a ton of it to put in yet.



I did my first one of these Friday. What is the technical term for these ceilings where the room is divided all up into smaller sections? Coffered?

Sorry, I should have said that this was in the well lit room and done by some talented guys before I got there. I was just showing this for reference. The room I was in was dark, dusty, and a gas powered compressor was right outside the window fuming us. iPhone in a dark room = bad pictures.

This is the section I was doing with the premade crown section.





2 guys, we both elected to take a section and up and down, which I know is stupid.

We called those ceilings box beams, although it is in a coffer.

Good luck!

Its a shame to paint the ceiling after you did such a nice job on the miters

This is in the next room over.



Thank you for the compliment. I feel paint grade is just as important as stain grade to get nice right before finish.
