I've only been working on this hood for 3 months now, lol, but here is the current state of it. We need to do some bracing, stain it, paint the inside and install the lights Hopefully that won't take as long as the first part has taken. I think the scariest part was getting ready to make that diagonal cut. That was definitely the hardest part and the line on the right needs a little help (of course that's the side you see from the bulk of the room, *sigh*). I think a bit of sanding will make it look ok though (that and staining it).
