First step - I built a work bench in the basement, and bought a
new toy, a compound miter saw 
    
    
  
Cutting the ceiling boards to length and painting the ends  
    
    
  
Marked the ceiling joists with a chalk line and put up the boards
    
    
    
  
    
  
The completed ceiling with the new light 
  
Painting the walls 
    
    
  
With the new cabinets in 
    
  
...and the crown molding and final touches
