Thanks man, I'm about to do the setup on my acoustic guitar after many years of never doing it...! I think you didn't check specifically for the intonation? Or maybe you kind of did it at the end when you played some chords?

Checking for relief is done by, capo 1st fret, then hold down the string at the 14th fret and then check the neck relief at the 6th fret. This is checking the relief of the neck in the middle of the neck to body joint. This is also in the middle of the truss rod.

Did you fix your ceiling yet? Let me just say it, clean the rusted rebars and buy a bag of sika "concrete repair mortar" and be done with it in an afternoon

In the not too distant future I will buy some "concrete repair mortar" and do a short video of the repair just for you 😂 p.s. you are right it isn't ideal and does need fixing.
