So I finished the soffit that encloses the guts of the house, ie. duct work, water lines, gas lines etc. in about 4 hours of work. Not too bad I guess. I can't help but feel I messed up when building it. In the photo below you can see that the cross boards are placed underneath the ladder and looking at it I feel like I should have secured the cross boards inside the two ladders. This would have given me a higher ceiling and more importantly it would have given me a solid corner under the sheet rock.
For those who absolutely know, the ceiling height is not an issue, but do I need to change this for sheet rocking purposes? Let me know.
Because we got such a late start due to the fact that there was so much to do before work began we only got this one piece of the project done but it was interesting and when it was all said and done in a run that ran the length of a house there was only a 1/4" difference. In my book that pretty damn square if you ask me.
P.S. Don't mind the mess in the background. I have a herniated disc in my back so that will be there for a while.
