Shopnut, if you want to make points big time with Mrs. 'Guitar Geek' Shopnut, plan a nice road trip up to Pennsylvania Dutch country (Bird-in-Hand, Paradise, ***********) with a side-trip to Nazareth, Pa.. Of course, all Martin owners know it as the Mecca of the stringed instrument; home of C. F. Martin Co..

Call ahead to reserve a spot on the factory tours they conduct. Years ago, I made the pilgrimage to yon hallowed ground, and even though I missed the last tour of the day, they were kind enough to give me, the wife and daughter a guided tour of their facility.
Two cautionaries:
1) Don't miss the exit for Nazareth or you'll wind up in New Jersey!
2) Take the checkbook away from G.G. or you'll spend $ big time when she waltzes into their 'Custom Shop'!
"Forewarned is Forearmed!"
Sorry for the detour.... and now folks, back to our on-going thread. LOL

Then you could do a flat ceiling in there if you wanted. Or if you wanted to put the vinyl up on the purlins like I did and leave your trusses exposed, that would look good too.
