Anyone got a ceiling like this?
http://tinypic.com/r/vqkv91/9 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. -- The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. |

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. songbird |

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

Just because the roof is sloping doesn't mean the ceiling has to be. -- A young blonde girl goes to the doctor for a physical.

Because the picture is close enough to the ceiling so you can tell they are not parallel. -- During the weekly Lamaze class, the instructor emphasized the importance of exercise, hinting strongly that husbands need to get out and start walking with their wives.
