Level Establish for Outer StepThe level is established for the outer step (60cm wide x 15cm high) as a first step in putting into place the frame work. Notice that these aluminum L shape pieces used for ties work much better than any type of wire. dozerSep 27, 2011

Bedroom InstallationThe first thing done is that the level of the lower step of the ceiling is established around the outside perimeter. The frame is being set up for a lower step which extends outward 60 centimeters and is 15 centimeters deep. dozerSep 27, 2011

Ceiling Secured RoomThis was the framing of the secured room where the ceiling is actually under a security level of metal welded together. The framework is tied to the security frame in this case, normally it is affixed to the roofing metal. dozerSep 27, 2011

Interior: FrameworkThe interior framework is established for the drywall sheeting to be installed. The very beginning of the process is establishing a straight line for every level to be used (if there is a step there would be the step level and the main level). This is done using the water clear tubing method and then setting the level lines in red chalk.dozerSep 27, 2011

Bad TileA fairly innocuous looking ceramic tile, this one has a small fault (at the arrow) causing slight water leakage. The overall project had about 10 bad tiles and the slight water leakage could be easily spotted and repaired since no roof foil was used. dozerSep 27, 2011
