Ready to rock!

Well, this is what the ceiling looked like when I pulled all of the drywall down.  All that is left to do is to remove these rafters and raise them up about 18 inches.  BUT, there is a problem.

The right side of the rafters are integrated into the structure of the wall, so I will have to cut them out...  Which will make the rafters shorter than what I need.  Paul comes through with exactly the number of 2X8 boards I need.
