Fireplace remodel. Exposed brick originally went all the way up to the cathedral ceiling, and was removed down to appropriate height. I will make a shaker style pilaster and mantel shelf with poplar and the remaining brick covered with granite.

Thanks Ian....I lost a lot of my work related photos to ransomware/ virus a few years ago. I refused to pay and lost pictures of some of my best work.
This is the finished mantel installed and painted...also installing a new kitchen at this remodel.

The demolition filled four dumpsters...besides the kitchen there were 3 1/2 bathrooms totally gutted. Different crew.....my first day there was when the cabinets were delivered.

I had to ask about the soffit detail. The quality and attention to detail on the plans for the cabinetry is always lacking...no details or cross sections and nothing on elevations regarding the soffit/ceiling moulding connection.

I drew commercial millwork with autocad for several years, accuracy and detail was the name of the game....every measurement, horizontal and verticle cross sections, materials labeled, hardware specs all on the shop drawings. From the accuracy of the drawings, I made parts cut lists with exact measurements. The shop could then build the stuff without any head scratching.

Made some progress with getting all the appliances installed.
