Ok, I'm going to try to post photos again, although every time I try, I screw it up. 

But here it goes...my fleece ceiling. 

For the overhead cab area, I put the fleece over metal mesh (hardware cloth), but I didn't want to use metal on the rest of the ceiling, because it was too heavy (and it scratches a lot!) so I used plastic garden mesh. I put that on the fiberglass, and then I used 3M spray adhesive to glue the fleece to the mesh.
 
Darn it.... The photos still did not show up.

Anyway, the fleece on top of plastic garden mesh worked really well, and bonus!...... I diidm't lose many headroom like you do with wood ceilings. I have about 3-4 inches more room now than when I first got it.
 
Oh, there were also some thin wood blocks attached to the fiberglass here and there, so I stapled the plastic garden mesh to the wood blocks for reinforcment.
 
Oh, I want to see this so much. I hope you can get the pictures figured out. What kind of fleece are you using? What color? This sounds exciting.
 
suggestion -use either an Amazon prime photo or Google drive account. Upload all your photos to 1 folder. Then share that folder and post the link.

I can’t upload photos in Safari 
but it works in Chrome

ypu can also upload from your phone but then the pixels are too big... I had to get an app to reduce pixel size.... then it’s easy to post from your phone ...

I hope that will help you figure it out

I went to JoAnn's fabrics and got the fleece that was on clearance at 50% off. Lol. So I guess it was clearance fleece. But it's nice and soft and thick and stretchy. And I used a cream colored fleece.

I think the only way I am going to be able to show people pictures is if I do another video.. So I will do one this coming week, once. get all the details finished. Today I cut my reflectix window coverings, and tonight I'm going to cover them with self-adhesive wallpaper for decoration.

And then I have a few more little details to do this weekend, but for the most part...it's pretty much done! Whoo hoo.

Oh my gosh...thanks so much. I am using safari because I have a Mac!

I'll try using Chrome and try to upload them again. Thanks, Gypsy!
 
yeah I have a Mac too...it used to upload but they changed something...

I have Safari on my iPhone ( not to confuse things)  but when you upload photos from your phone the pixies are too big and you have to get an app to resize and then upload .... it’s a process to figure it all out...I’m not very tech savvy...
 
Giggles I’ll Pm you with my email address and phone number. You can either text me the pics or email them to me and I’ll post them.
 
Strike that. You have disabled your private messaging so I can’t send you my info.
 
You have done a great job and you have really good hands. In such cases, I always turn to professionals, even if I understand what I can do myself.

Thanks!! Sounds good.
 
I have disabled my private messaging? How have I done that. Lol. I don't even remember doing that.

How do I enable my PM??

This forum is soooo confusing... and I'm usually really good with computers....
 
I like this forum, unlike others, it is less confusing I am not so good at computers. It's strange that I don't see photos of your ceiling, which should be in the first message
