Main Hall walls & ceiling

Next I turned my attention to the main hall walls and ceiling. First I completed all the electrical and plumbing. Then I had to cut out areas of bad plaster on the ceiling.

Then I hung the sheetrock.

I had to make a decision on what to do with the stairs. I eventually want to replace them with a period correct staircase from the 1850's. In the meantime I cut the wall down to follow the angle of the stairs and framed in the area above where the drop ceiling was.

Next I taped and mudded the walls and ceiling.

Then I primered the walls.
