The I-Hate-Heights-But-This-Was-Fun Fireplace

This fireplace was up there! (Although not as high as the one at Inglewood Golf and Country Club, but I had a scissor lift for that one.) Here is the finished fireplace. That bottom lip of the plaster part is about 5 and a half feet from the ground.


This is the view from the top of the scaffolding. (Yoga breathing helped.) 
The arches are about 4 feet above door height.

The progression: before, base layers of plaster, glazing:

Just for fun, here's the scaffolding. That's my ten foot ladder.

Second plaster layer


First glaze was too light


Final finish (same as first pic)
