You know those thin strips on the ceiling that cover up the seams where the ceiling panels meet? What i want to do is make nice beams to go around them and i found the idea on the internet on another mobile home site but it wont let me copy the pictures, but what i want to do is
1. router a groove in 2x4's and screw them up over the factory strips in the ceiling
2. nail a nice painted 1x4 to the 2x4
3. split 1x6 down the center and nail on each side of the 2x4.
would this be too heavy though? I have 2x3 trusses. here is a link to the post where they did this, you will have to scroll down a little to see it..
