Lyle,
Tell me about the pine interior (it is pine, right?); include some details. I assume it is 3/4" thick T&G...? Did you lay in a drywall fireblock before installation? Face nail, or hidden at T&G? Finish nails or wire brads? I can't imagine you filled the nails holes. Finish on the pine?

And....perhaps the most important thing. What did you learn (or bring to the table) that is/are great tips for this kind of installation?
Having done this installation a couple of time the biggest tip I can give is apply the finish to the boards before they are installed. Not a lot of fun applying poly, shellac, etc on a ceiling. It takes a lot of space for preparation but worth it in the end especially as I am getting older
