Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

Tag chimney breasts

1 post from October 2025

Because it was inconvenient, I never covered up the foyer chimney breast with drywall when I did a few others this summer. This was becoming a real pain in the butt, since I couldn’t begin installing the cornice in the room until I had the wall surface finalized. Earlier this month, I decided to bite the bullet and get it done! I still haven’t even sanded the mud, but you can see I’m far enough along to get moving with the trim. (I’ve got to get as much of this stuff installed as I can before winter!)
