Welp. Cedar prices have gone through the roof due to our unusually long winter, and low supply at the lumber yards, so instead of doing a cedar tongue-in-groove ceiling in my room (for over $1000!), I'm going to do... something else. I dunno. Maybe birch fine-finished plywood. At $35/sheet, I can cover my 16x14 ceiling in that for about $250.

It doesn't have the bug-repellent properties or wonderful scent of cedar, but it'll look nice.

Oh. And I'm on Mastodon now. Really like the platform design, and that anyone can spin up an instance with their own rules, and that it is worldwide. Check it out if you are interested in effective non-commercial alternates to social media.
