Well the good news is the soffit is done and some of the ceiling is done.
Band news is my fucking water main busted and was spewing water for a good hour. Luckly my roomates and I got most of the equipment out before it got soaked. Still had pull all the carpet out and dry it and the ground. It fucking blew...

ha, I heard that movie was actually pretty good. It's looking pretty different now. The whole ceil is up. Today I'm gonna spackle, then I but up some bass traps and maybe a little foam on the ceiling and I'm done with construction!
