So, what room is that. It kind of looks like it used to be the dining area.

Yeah it was for a while but I have been lurking around for here for a while an I found the general consensus to try to locate in as central in the home as possible. I think where the dining room is now works alot better, its right near the kitchen. I'm gonna get rid of the light in the pic and put a nice ceiling fan up.

I am saving this space for me so I can be the first to congratulate you when you fill in your saved space for the finished photo.
But for now so far so good, awesome work, keep it up and ... your deadline to complete this project is by Sunday noon with a break-in fire. Cheers... and again nice handy work. Now get back to it
