What happens here

Install a decorative wooden mantel above the fireplace opening, securing it firmly to the feature wall structure. Ensure it is perfectly level. Perform any final touch-ups or detailing on the stone veneer around the fireplace and the fire pit to ensure all joints are clean and the overall finish is immaculate. This step brings the fireplace to completion and prepares it for use.

Goal: Complete the fireplace with a mantel and finish all stone veneer applications
