Chris:
The bench work looks like it would support an elephant. Good work. I notice that you have not put in a suspended ceiling. I chose not to put one in because I had fits with rodent infestation in the previous house. It was a little disconcerting to look up at the light panels and see chipmunks and mice running across the light panels. A friend, with experience in the stage set business, suggested that I have all the joists painted flat black. I followed his suggestion and hired a professional painting company to spray the ceiling. All the bare wood seemed to disappear. Now, unless I call their attention to it, visitors are not aware that the ceiling is unfinished.
