PUTTING THE LID ON IT

At long last we have the ceiling hung and all the panels in place hiding a multitude of sins.  Putting in almost 200 tiles was not without its issues.  As we got to the future bar area a couple tiles didn't fit very well so Steve gave it a little added pressure.  Needless to say, we had a slight tile slide. 

This brought back memories of my visit to a local chiropractor.  I prepared to go into the office as usual and pulled the door open.  I heard and felt a light sucking sound and all of a sudden the ceiling raised up just a bit and then fell out of the tracks.  The doctor stood there as the ceiling tiles hung over the receptionists desk.  I think there were a few heating pipes mixed in between the tiles and the grids. 

I sat in my chair as the doctor looked at his former ceiling and then at me.  My first thought was "he's going to hurt me".  I tried the best I could not to laugh but I just couldn't help it.  The look on his face was priceless.  I went in for my adjustment then came back out to be reminded of what I had just done to his office.  I asked if he wanted to ever see me again and he said yes.  I got to my car and burst into laughter. 

Anyway, below are a couple pictures of the room with its lid on.
