Anyone got a ceiling like this?

I found it when looking at air conditioning - this guy has a 10 degree sloping ceiling, so the AC looks squint. How do people with ceilings like that hang pictures etc?
The site doesn't always work well - click shift refresh if the picture doesn't appear.


two of our "rooms" are flattish roof with
slight slope to shed rain or melting snow.
only one has anything hanging on the wall.
we used hooks in the trim at the top of the
wall and monofilament line. i wouldn't know
if it was level or not, the picture is kinda
behind the coat tree.

The "easy answer" is to shim and strap the ceiling to make it level
with new dry-wall.

Far from the least work - but still the "easy answer"


I would have thought that should be done when the house is built. Just because the roof is sloping doesn't mean the ceiling has to be.
