More Ceiling Tile

We got up another row of ceiling tile today. Actually, we got up a row and a half. We are now over half way finished.

The one problem we had was with the tile that goes into this corner.

We ended up cutting a little too much and there was a pretty noticeable gap against the shaded side of the wall.

Susan came up with a brilliant plan to save the tile. She glued the strip we removed back into place. We hope we can recut it and use the tile rather than waste it.

You can see the cut line in the picture above but I think we are going to be able to use it. It seems as though the glued joint is strong and once we add a coat of paint, I’m betting it will be nearly invisible.

According to my ciphering, we only have one extra tile. So screw ups are not going to be tolerated.

By the way, having only one extra tile may not be correct. Because we are cutting such a small sliver off that final row shown above, I’m hoping we can use the rest of the tile sheet when we finish on the other side of the kitchen.

After finishing up this final section against the north wall, we will be moving to the most difficult part of the installation because of all the light fixtures we have to work around.

Stay tuned.
