Thanks guys. The encouragement is great!
As for the installation, I have to get a ceiling of sorts up. I was thinking 1/4" ply, painted with the same sky blue paint as the walls. But I saw some 1/8" hardboard that is already painted white at $10/sheet. It will not support the lights, so I'll have to put in some blocking behind it in the right places for the lights, but that should not be hard.
Tonight I hope to get some of the "accumulation" out of the ceiling and sort it into "stuff" and "junk" using the following rule of thumb...
"Junk is stuff you throw away, stuff is junk you keep"
Wish me luck - I am a notorious (according to my wife) pack rat.
