When I arrived home last night, our new ceiling, complete with recessed can lights was finished! The ceiling was constructed by nailing a "ledge" around the walls and then hanging the drywall from that. We decided to install this new ceiling because the original plaster ceiling had cracked from the house settling, and probably would continue to crack over time. This ceiling should be more resistant to cracking than the old plaster ceiling.
The guys also framed out our new pantry. We were originally going to keep the old pantry, but they wanted to remake it because the old one was in bad shape. You can see that there is a gap between the 2x4 and the wall - it is actually flush with the wall at the floor, but the walls are so out of square that there is about an inch gap at the top. This pantry is probably the only thing that is level and square in our whole house right now!
And finally, just a picture to show the wood floors in the entryway with all of the parquet removed.
