[AT] Shop ceiling

[Jerry Rhodes]

Don, I used polebarn skin (sheeting) for my ceiling, then used a dry wall 
lift an a couple 2x4s to lift the sheets in place. I uaed a Irwin taper 
drill to cut the 3/4" holes for the wiring before I put the next sheet in 
place. I had the wiring laying in place on the trusses before I started, 
good luck
