Client had another contractor install her fireplace and start on the mantel. He got so far and then quit. They then hired another contractor to finish it off, but he also quit without finishing.

This is what it looked like when I was hired.

I tore apart the mantel and redid it so they could install a flatscreeen TV and surround sound. There are (2) two inch pipes to run cables and wires out either side so they are hidden.

The client chose Alder for the wood. The opening above the TV is for the center channel of the surround sound.

They wanted lights under the mantel to shine on the glass tile. I didn't install any of the tile on this job. Unfortunately, the contractor who did this refused to even look at it when it slipped and it took four months for him to fix it.

The first contractor installed the doors and did a good job of it. The electrician didn't run the wiring for the lights as the client wanted them, so I changed it so there are nine light switches. After that, I finished the walls in the same Alder wood as the mantle.

I installed the crown moulding in the room.

After I started to install the wood flooring, we realized that there was a low spot right past the doorway. Worse place to be, and also very noticable when walking into the room. I removed the wood and leveled the concrete slab underneith, then re-installed the floor.

Still a bit dusty, but the floor is done.

This is where we stopped on this room for now. There is a list of things still do to, but for now, the room is livable.
