   Are you a builder doing the entire home? What area are you in?

   You should have wandered in a week or two ago.

   You could have been at TipiFest and met a bunch of the guys.

   Anyway, welcome. I'm in NJ, too. Somerset/Middlesex/Union county area.

   If we get a few more Jersey guys here, maybe we can take over.

   Like the style you chose and well executed.

   Love the look of ceilings other than white paint!

   Cm'on, you were not bruised, it just rolled off, didn't it?  First time I was here got trashed for being so cheap I ate roadkill, etc. <G>

   what's wrong with eating road kill...

   The guys in New Brunswick get tired of porcupine, Texans get tired of Armadillo, etc. 

   Not much of a varied diet in some places <G>

   Think the only 'actual' roadkill I've eaten though is vension.

   I assume that is pine in two of the ceiling photos - what type of stain/finish is it?

   It is pine. We used 1x6 knotty t&g and the box beams are 1x pine as well. The stain

   was mixed on site ,standard minwax colors, wood treated before-hand and than

   sealed afterwards.

   We constructed this ceiling during a renovation with a south American architectural theme.

   The angles made it a fun

   Greetings COMP,

   http://forums.taunton.com/tp-breaktime/messages?msg=24441.1

   is an old thread here on Breaktime that includes a lot of data on posting pics and the Irfanview download.

   Dialup patrons of the forum cannot download real large files or will take excessive time.

   Two things are necessary to assist the dialups with your photos. Making sure that the set file association is set to jpgs if you are using the Irfanview system.

   The other is to keep the KB picture size to preferably 50 to 75 KBs or at least under 100KB 

   How'd you like to start downloading a pic only to go get a cup of coffee, heat it up, come back and find the file is only half done downloading just to see a pic?

   Great pics by the way.

   Cheers
