The high beam in the livingroom is close to 30'. Dual level livingroom with basically cathedral ceilings.
*Fun*.

I was right at the end of scaffold work when I tore my achilles last year. Thus, *just* the middle of the ceilings are not painted. The beams and everything around the edges are done, the walls....just not the very middle of both the upper and lower ceilings.
This house is freezing, except in the summer when it turns to a low boil.
Being the bay area, though....it can be 104 one day, and 52 the next in the summer.

I haven't smoked inside a home I've lived in for maybe 15 years. I smoke cigarettes, though, and they stink, besides being really bad for kids to be around.
