The ceiling is a full 3.2 meters from the floor.  It is nice to have high ceilings, but 3 meters or less is sufficient.  At 3.2 meters, the ceiling fans are little too high to get the air circulating and changing a light bulb can be challenging.  The drywall sheets come in various grades with one grade suitable for damp areas.  In this house, a good grade is used, but not the one for damp areas.

There was a specialty company that came by to tape the ceiling.  In the meantime I did have a chance to observe an specialty company that does nothing but ceilings.  Their prices were quite low and they did really nice work quickly.  For example, on one house I looked at they did a multi-level ceiling which looked very nice.  On future projects I would look to use a specialty company for the ceiling.

This shot shows a sample of the support metal which is used to support the ceiling sheetrock.  It is the 'U' shaped metal piece in the upper portion of the photo.  (27-Apr-04)	The metal frame is supported by attaching wire to the truss metal.  (05-May-04)
And it attaches to the support metal framework like this.  (06-May-04)	Metal supports are spaced at about 2/3 meter square.
