Here’s my contribution. A coffered ceiling. Almost done. Way more complicated than I thought it would be. There was a 1/2” difference between the center of the ceiling and the edge where it meets the walls. In other words, the ceiling wasn’t flat due to bowed joists, which would have been obvious when finished. And it almost is:

Did you straighten out the joists?
I remember putting in my garage door opener and finding the center joist had sagged a tad. Got with a friend who had building experience and he helped me jack up the offending area and add some two by stiffeners to the joist to keep it straight as well as adding more load carrying drop down boards to the whole affair. Not sure what you call those last ones.
Your ceiling looks fantastic.
