We finally got to hang this nice groin vault that we framed last december, it is 19 feet off the floor, an oval shaped barrel 45 feet long, with 5 oval shaped cross vaults, it had a major axis of 104 3/4″, a minor axis of 79″ and was a lot of fun to hang. A middle aged fat man, one college boy and a 14 year old hung it in about three days.

This kind of stuff is just fascinating! I would love to see the whole series and process. It all looks trickie!
It is a farm house near Happy Texas, around 8000 ft i think, it is a remodel, and i am the ceiling sub.
Absolutley amazing work. I'd be headscratching for days on that one.
Thanks for sharing!

Excellent work. What type of corner bead will you use?
Chuck Slive, work, build, ...better with wood
I will be trying the no-coat 325 on the groins on this ceiling, I havent used it before but they sent me a box to try out, and it looks like a great product to me.
Very nice. Is that a residence ? I wish more people could afford to build like that, makes the days more interesting.

Trust in God, but row away from the rocks.
Man, that's the kind of job to dream about.
Fantastic - just fantastic.

Nice work as usual Brisket.
Got any more pictures of that place, looks pretty cool.

Nice work. Challenging work like that is what keeps me in the trade.
I will never complain about doing drywall again.
