Nice job. Grout joints a little larger than I like, but good job.

The tile was rough. I used a 1/8 inch spacer but the grout followed the cut on the tile.

Last week I did work in the brownstone. HO wanted to have that same style moldings in the hallway like they have in the other rooms.
Old, original one.

Well your work looks AWESOME. I think the GC should have dealt with those outside corners before letting you do your AWESOME THING. G

Agree with you, GC must put corner bead or tape it first, but he 'll do that later. If crown get chipped I'll go to fix...for some extra..

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


I love the old plaster crown and light medallions. They preserved a lot of that old plaster crown and trim on the recent season of TOH on the Brooklyn house. Nice work.


Walker, don't take this the wrong way, but could those recessed lights have been a little closer and more in line for lighting over the countertops? That's where I'd have liked to seen them. I totally understand if there was an old steam pipe or whatever in the way or the HO changed cabinet sizes or whatever.

No offense taken at all. We did install under cabinet lights for the customer. Looking at it now we probably should of put more in. The customer wasn't even sure they wanted the recess lights.
How far apart do you place them?
At the time it seemed like an overkill if we put more in since there is a center light and a hanging light above the sink.
