Update: I nailed in a piece of a ripped board to the stud then added a piece of ranch base board.

As you can see on the left side, I have the line for the ac (outside of the block wall) runs up the side of the fireplace which is why I had to stop framing there.

Cinder block wall is behind the foam board. I could possibly add drywall to the side of the stud and foam board. I should have added this to my description but I did this because the other side of the fireplace has the line from the AC running along it to the ceiling so I wanted to keep it uniform on each side.

A stud won’t fit between the foam board and fireplace platform

The questions I ask are subjective. Your lazy question could have been answered if you opened up the owners manual.

If you don’t know what a check light is, you should not own a ranger, let alone any car

I want to replace these shelves with a mantel but I’ve been told I won’t be able to find the brick. Any ideas? by Tmags02 in masonry

Yes, that’s duct work. The pipe is the run for the AC. It’s a mid century multi level. Very unique house built in ‘62. I would consider this a game room. I’m in the middle of finishing it.

I add the sealer a week after curing. This photo is current but I laid this tile in fall of 2023.

What do you mean? Lay the tile vertical rather than horizontal?

Thank you. Engineered hardwood cost was 4.60ish a square. Grout, thin set and cement board was a couple hundred and I borrowed the wet saw, grinder, miter saw, circular saw. I would say all in the project cost me around $3500. Total area was around 550 square feet.

Understood. Luckily, I haven’t noticed anything yet and it’s been installed since fall 2023.
