Ceilings, painted walls and other Winter colors

It's winter again and the days are short and cold. Most of our work is inside but there is still plenty to be done on the exterior. I finally put the metal cap on the second vent box last week. In the spring we will put the roof vents on these two boxes.
We had a day of nice weather so we clad the back porch ceiling with plywood. This will serve as a sub-base for the wood cladding we have been saving over the years. The original house has a lot of wide plank, heart pine on the walls and floor. We tried to save as much as possible during the demolition phase. If we have enough, we will use this to clad the porch ceiling.

Meanwhile, the walls were being painted inside. The front room is almost finished and should be ready for use by the end of the year. Julie's boyfriend dropped by to have a look....
