Ceiling

I designed a dropped ceiling for my kiln area.  It consists of sections of heat resistant plasterboard hung between doubled steel 2x4s.  The idea was to protect the wooden structure of the porch from the heat of the kiln.  It has been quite an enterprise.  Tomorrow I will work on the outer framework.  I discovered that one of the hanging straps had disengaged from the nail that was supposed to hold the 2x4s in place.  I hope this was a one off or I will have my own preview of what an earthquake might look like as the ceiling tumbles down.
