February 22, 2009 - Started tiling the ceiling in the 2nd bathroom today. To make the ceiling tile perfectly
level, I screwed two straight 2 x 4's on opposite walls of the bathroom 6" below the ceiling. The top 2 x 4 is
screwed to the ceiling and is used as a straight edge for the first row of tile. The two straight 2 x 4's on both
sides of the light bulb sit on top of the 2 x 4's that are screwed to the wall. Thinset is applyed to the ceiling
and the tile is pushed up into the thinset. The small spacer blocks are then set at each corner of the tile.
