I got nearly all of the remaining ceiling tiles in today. The three that went around the recessed lights weren’t as hard as I thought they would be. It just took time and patience to cut the circular holes in the right spot.
I had to wait for Terry to bring back the cross pieces I was short. And I just didn’t feel up to moving everything around so I could get to the place where the ceiling fan is going. I may have to cut and drill the pipe to extend the fan low enough to clear the ceiling tiles. The shortest extension they sell is still a 1-foot piece of pipe and that may bring the fan down too low. It comes with a 3-inch piece and that may be too short. I won’t know for sure until I get the majority of the stuff set up and actually hang the damn pipe from the fixture.
The missing panel in the back is where the ceiling fan is to go---tomorrow afternoon?
The finished ceiling adds a touch of class to the area. And quite an area it is, too. The two halves of the basement here are approximately 13' x 22' each. I worked in classrooms smaller than that.
Only three partial ceiling tiles to go in the back against the wall.
And so ends another day at the Aerie:
Sunsets like this are the norm. I find myself feeling rather bored with them. NOT

The ceiling project looks great and think of all the money you are saving by doing it yourself.
