One of the reasons it took so long to finish the drywall is that I wanted to increase the headroom going up the stairs. That took some engineering, advice, more advice, and some work. Friends came to the rescue with the advice and the labor.
Bill Woods supplied the advice and Ed Grove came through with the helping hands over many days. My first step was to tear out all the lath and plaster for the ceiling. Then I attached the sagging 2x4 ceiling joists to the floor joists so they were all even and true. Ed and I removed a couple of ceiling supports after doing the necessary bracing, then installed a new post to hold the floor near the stairs. It came out just like we knew what we were doing.
