My First Drywall Arch

I am an amateur drywall handyman. Not claiming to be a pro or anything. I just finished with my first barrel arch ceiling. I am very pleased with my results. It was not very hard to do, but it did take me a while to get the framing right.

I framed with with 2X4's, and placed them on their ends. Then I used two pieces of 1/4" flex. I got the tip from a buddy of mine. I guess the pro's use it all the time. I layered the 1/4" up and mudded it in. I am going to finish the rest of the bathroom smooth. Looks good!
